Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
Over the years we’ve written about different seating options for fidgeters such as the Vidget. Fun and Function offers another solution with their Modern Ball Chair. The Modern Ball Chair is the “ideal seat for kids who need to wiggle and move to help focus, but need extra support.”
This seating solution offers the benefits of sitting on an exercise ball but with a backrest. It also features locking wheels to ensure active bouncers won’t roll away. Some benefits of sitting on an exercise ball include increasing core strength, improving posture, and decreasing discomfort.
According to Fun and Function, it also helps “hyperactive children channel restless energy so your classroom or clinic can be a more productive learning environment for all…”
Other features of the Modern Ball Chair include:
- Ball Chair is an ideal seating option for hyperactive children who need to wiggle and move to help focus
- Features backrest for children who need extra support and locking wheels to ensure users won’t roll away
- For children ages 7 and up
- Ball measures 20.86″ in diameter and 53 cm in height

- Holds up to 250 pounds
