Aeromat Ball Chair for Adults and Teens: Active Seating for Larger Students and Staff
The Aeromat Ball Chair for Adults/Teens combines the vestibular and core-strengthening benefits of therapy ball sitting with the safety of a sturdy chair frame with casters. The ball seat engages core muscles through constant micro-adjustments, providing the vestibular and proprioceptive input that supports focus and postural endurance for larger students, teens, and adults.
Therapeutic Benefits
- Primary sensory input: Vestibular — the unstable ball surface creates continuous micro-movements that stimulate the vestibular system
- Secondary input: Proprioceptive — core muscles engage constantly to maintain balance, providing organizing input
- Core strength and posture — regular use builds trunk stability, improving seated endurance for longer class periods
- Active sitting — channels restless energy into productive micro-movements that support concentration
Ideal For
- Settings: Middle/high school classrooms, resource rooms, teacher desks, home offices, OT clinics
- Supports: Teens and adults with ADHD, sensory seeking behaviors, postural needs, difficulty sustaining focus during seated tasks
- IEP goal areas: Attending to task, postural control, self-regulation
How to Use
Use at any standard desk or table. The base with casters keeps the ball secured while allowing the chair to roll. Inflate the ball to comfort level — slightly under-inflated for more stability, fully inflated for more challenge. Introduce gradually in 20-minute intervals. Consult with your OT to determine if ball chair seating supports each student’s goals.
