Alternative seating will help increase seated on-task behaviors which will increase our learning! Research has shown that flexible seating increases in seat on-task behaviors 86%. Research shows significant decrease in stereotyped movement and increase in communication and social skills of these students. Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom. It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed. Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.
