Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their own learning and make choices in the learning environment. During whole group and small group times, my students are mainly at their desks or at tables around the room. Making sure students are comfortable during these times is an essential component in motivating them to complete their best work. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given choices in their seating options that are sensory friendly.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given sensory-friendly seating options.
Currently, I have two soft seat covers that rotate between students daily, as we do not have enough for each student in the room. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that need to stay moving or require them to stay focused on the academic task. The bumpy seat covers provide additional sensory input that help students remain focused.
I have seen how flexible seating options can positively affect my students’ work, and I hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
