Students Are Having a "Ball" at DES
Health Benefits and Improved Concentration for Students
Dacusville Elementary is on the cutting edge of recent research findings, using stability balls for “active sitting” in five classrooms. For many years, Occupational and Physical Therapists have used stability balls to address strength, balance, and sensory integration. Therapists often recommend the use of balls in the classroom for students diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorders, ADHD, and to improve core strength and posture.
Teachers using stability balls at Dacusville Elementary report an increase in their students’ ability to focus for longer periods and improved concentration. To read the rest of the article click here or look for it in the local papers.
