Seating and Positioning

• The ideal posture for a student to be in during instructional writing times is called a 90-90-90 position. This means that the student is sitting in a chair with their hips, knees and ankles at a 90 degree angle to the floor (feet should be flat on the floor) and at an appropriate sized desk.

• However, some students may benefit from experiencing alternative body positions in order to enhance their physical strength, endurance and/or attention to perform activities (i.e. standing, lying on their bellies, sitting on the floor, t-stool, ball chair, etc).

How do we know the supports are working?

Please select 1-3 supports and implement them for 3 weeks while tracking the student's response. This data will help adjust supports and during the evaluation process if that is a necessary step.
