“The HowdaHug chair has been well received by several students in my young autism class. It helps them sit and attend during floor time  group activities. It also has been very helpful during individual work times to get them focused and reduce elopement. It allows for sensory breaks through rocking and pushing without needing to transition away from the work area.”

“The HowdaHug chairs are, just after books, perhaps the most significant factor in our class’s Reading Workshop. Teaching in an inclusion model classroom with students who have an array of attentional, sensory, and learning challenges, integrated with so called typically developing students, I find these seats contribute to sustained reading and enjoyment of books. THey are a great equalizer as all benefit from their comfort when we spread across the room. Children,sit, rock, or even roll over...but, they keep on reading!”

 “As the adult, I join them in my seat. I find that sitting in it eases my arthritic wrists, hips, and knees that would otherwise be supporting the weight of my body on the floor as I meet with them, allowing me to be more attentive as well.”
