Developmentally, children need to move their bodies.If they can move and wiggle while learning and aren't stifled to sit still, their ability to absorb more knowledge will greatly increase.
Just like many adults need to doodle or fidget in order to concentrate, children need to have body motion in order to learn. Studies prove that allowing children alternative seating within a classroom will help them be more successful.
I have one of these chairs already in the classroom and the success that has come of it is seen within days. My students all beg to use the special chair because they feel like they can concentrate better on their task at hand.
