And I know this will sound completely crazy and counter-intuitive, but what about trying a Disc'OSit or Movin'Sit (or similar type cushion). In some ways it challenges balance more, but it also provides more feedback to the person using it, so it can improve posture and ability to sit and attend. If they are more "deflated" than inflated, it takes less balance skills. In most classes I've seen, kids fight over getting to use them... and it could be brought from the floor to her chair if she is having issues paying attention or staying still or sitting in her chair.Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051100617352125207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9875218.post-27683156555733659062010-10-31T20:19:34.826-04:002010-10-31T20:19:34.826-04:00I'm a SLP in a public school.

How about getting two chairs and letting another child use a chair. This could be a big deal and take away any negative vibes associated with a "baby chair". Lots of non preemie kids have difficulty during carpet time.<br /><br />~~~alicia~~~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9875218.post-77070636268874453032010-10-21T21:25:12.405-04:002010-10-21T21:25:12.405-04:00Check out the MyPod Metro chair.

Tough situation. <br /><br />Few teachers ever took me up on this suggestion, but I.tried.every.time. I would ask the teacher to have all the students sit in a chair during circle time. I don't like floor sitting for any child, but it seems to be an ingrained educational tradition.

I was talking with my husband about the situation with the chair and what we would do if that was Bree. Figured I would share our ideas with you in case it would help. :) What about a bigger pillow she could sit on? It could be filled with either stuffing, or bean bag beans. It might help to support her just enough that her feeling of tipping over or instability will be corrected enough that it is not a distraction to her, and it won't look like a baby chair. Hope that helps!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698577505948929856noreply@blogger.com
