Studies have shown that students, in general, benefit from active listening, and body movement. For so many years, we have expected students to sit still, when we as adults can't even do that. Alternative seating helps students funnel that energy into a desired result for both the student's success and the teacher's ability to reach that student. The therapy, exercise balls, in my case, will help drop the disruptive behavior and reduce the amount of time that the student is focusing on trying to not get in trouble or distract others. This way, they can bounce and expel that energy, and still accomplish their day's tasks.
