My Project

My students are excited and motivated learners who enjoy attending school and their school community. For some of them, learning is extra challenging due to Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD) that prevents them from being able to sit still in their chairs. Often times, they are moving around in their chairs, sliding off of their chairs, and getting out of their chairs in order to keep themselves regulated and attentive through movement. These frequent movements impede their ability to remain focus and attentive during class.

The Kore Kids Wobble Chair will promote self-regulation and increase attention through movement, allowing my students to remain seated, attentive, and engaged in their classes.

The Kore Kids Wobble Chair has a flexible design to provide active sitting in a manner that promote increased attention/focusing skills, which will be very helpful to support my students in their classrooms.
