Good for children with ADHD

I have the opportunity to work with several children with ADHD and sometimes I really need them to focus for just a couple of minutes. It's remarkable how much better they can do that when standing on this thing. My understanding of the research is that these do nothing for long-term healing of ADHD symptoms but that they can provide a short-term "band aid" solution, and that is exactly what I am seeing in the real world. It comes in very handy for kids who are in the middle of a med adjustment or who are not able to take medication for one reason or another when I need to get their attention for something important. I'm told by parents that it also helps with homework time at home, particularly if they stand at a counter rather than sitting at a table.Even better, the nubs are a nice sensory experience for kids (and adults) who find that sort of thing calming. The very short texture dots on the opposite side provide a more gentle sensory experience for those who prefer that.Also the kids seem to love it, and they think it's really fun to show me how long they can stand/sit/"plank" on it.The pump was easy to use and the cushion is durable, I've had adults up to about 195 lbs try it without an issue.

Pros
  • Balance Boards
Cons
  • Can create noise when shifting weight
