A teacher in Minnesota (where I live) is changing out chairs for stability balls when school starts in the fall!

Something like this might help you guys at home while you're studying!!

You can usually find them around $20.

here are some at Amazon:

If i were still in school, I'd totally do this!

I bet it can be added into accomodations . . .

That's awesome

We get those balls for the Dore program too. I tried one at my work desk, and it was GREAT! Except that it made my workstation too tall. But, I can see the value in that, it would really help with the fidgeties. It will be interesting to see how theK- classroom does with it, because I could see the kids really getting going on bouncing on them, and they are so fun to play with! My son is 14, and still "plays" with the ball when we are trying to do the exercises with it. May make the classroom a bit harder to control, I don't know.

My mom and I actually bought my cousin for his birthday something like that, except the ball was inside of a chair, but it still did the same thing, it was just taller and way more easier to control. I think we got it at Staple's a couple of years ago, but I'm not sure. All I know is it's cool to sit on!

If we had those in class, I would do everything possible with it; bounce it, hop around the room on it, play catch with people. I'd do anything BUT stay quiet! xD

wow that looks great. kind of reminds me of first grade when I had some kind of thing on my chair witch moved with me if I was moving/tilting on my chair so the whole chair wouldn't move.

I'm the kid that would fall off! hehe. That sounds fun, I'm interested to see if I'd fidget less on that sort of thing.. I feel like i'd try to roll around on top of it!

Hah!

I used one at home for my desk to help keep my back straight. It worked for a bit, then I had to switch back to a chair.

I was bouncing quite a bit on it, especially to music. Never had a problem typing on the keyboard, either. :D
