Title: Do inflatable cushions help ADHD symtoms? Post by: yaichenbaum on November 08, 2009, 08:20:30 AM Children who are fidgety or who have ADHD are sometimes helped by inflatable cushions such as "Disc O' Sit." What is your experience with such devices?

Title: Re: Do inflatable cushions help ADHD symtoms? Post by: Gittyzo on February 14, 2010, 10:59:30 AM I attached a research study on the effectiveness of the disc-o-sit cushion on maintaining attention to task.
This study found that the cushions are effective when used for 2 hours per day. Title: Re: Do inflatable cushions help ADHD symtoms? Post by: emaof7 on March 03, 2010, 02:03:37 PM I have had a number of students use this cushion or a similar type. Most knew if it helped them or not after using it a few times. For some of the children, it was very helpful as it gave them a way to move in a more controlled (and less distracting!) manner. In fact, I would just love to purchase a few to keep in school for kids to try out and use when needed. Anyone find a place to get them at a reasonable cost?
