I’ve heard about “ADHD chairs” or wobble stools for kids. Do these special chairs actually help with focus, or are they just a trend?
Research suggests they can be very effective, but "work" means something specific. For many kids with ADHD, movement isn't a distraction—it's a way to self-regulate and maintain focus. So-called "ADHD chairs" (like dynamic seats, wobble stools, or therapy balls) allow for this safe, controlled movement. A 2022 study found that children with ADHD showed better in-seat behavior and task performance when using an active seat compared to a standard chair. The key is providing an outlet for restlessness so the brain can focus on the task at hand.
Common ADHD chair types include:
- Wobble Stools
- Balance Disc Cushions
- Kneeling Chairs
- Active Sitting Chairs (like Swopper)
- Therapy/Yoga Balls
- Fidget Bands (for use under standard chairs)
