To help my students learn amid the pandemic (and beyond!), I could use flexible seating options to make the transition between home and school a bit easier. The students that come into my classroom are often, by nature of their disabilities, extremely uncomfortable at school. The uncertainty and inconsistency of school during the pandemic has only amplified this anxiety. By being able to offer my students an environment that respects their comfort in choosing how they learn and attend to lessons best, I can eliminate or decrease some of that apprehension. Research tells us that when students are comfortable and feel in control, they learn more. Students with ADHD, ADD and sensory issues need a seat or environment to satisfy the physical challenges that they face in a traditional seating arrangement. If they are uncomfortable, this just adds to attention struggles. Flexible seating goes a long way in creating a classroom community of learners - with options each day, students feel more comfortable collaborating with both their peers and their teachers. The underlying goal in all that I do in my classroom is to get students to a place where they can be confident and comfortable taking risks - putting themselves out there to learn and grow. Flexible seating helps me to create that environment.
