Stability Ball

Stability Ball

它是什么?

Using a stability ball as seating allows students to bounce and shift when their body needs it, strengthens core muscles, and allows students to focus.

它在哪里找到?

At student desks/tables. Perhaps stored in the sensory gym.

我该如何使用它?

Students sitting on stability balls are able to move and adjust their bodies as needed, which allows them to better focus on the task at hand.

Safety Note

It is important to make sure that students of all abilities are being closely monitored when using a stability ball. Many students demonstrate core weakness, especially since they are currently spending a lot of time indoors, which can make it difficult to remain upright on a stability ball. Unless you’re certain that the student you are putting on a stability ball is very strong, it’s better if an adult is close enough to prevent a fall. A stability ball with a back, like the one pictured, is much safer for students with limited core strength.
