My Project

Research has shown that children with ADHD require aid in attending and focusing during instructional time in school. Wobble chairs have been shown to give children with ADHD, the ability to move and fidget, and yet remain focused during their lessons. The motion of rocking can have a calming effect on the nervous system which is the mechanism by which students benefit from the use of wobble chairs during classroom instruction. These chairs also have a therapeutic benefit during pull out services like speech and language therapy or occupational therapy.
