I have always wanted to get one of these children’s swivel chairs for the kids, and finally found a place that has them. This would be the fun-est chair to have in the kids bedrooms to read in. My boys were diagnosed at a young age, having Sensory Processing Disorder. Their brain has a hard time processing their senses, and so what happens is they go into over load and become over stimulated. They essentially act out, but have no idea why. My oldest son who is 7 years old, finally was able to start first grade this year with no IEP (Individual Education Plan). He attended preschool at our elementary school in the Early Childhood Special Ed department and was able to receive his services at school. He started school when he was three years old, and attended the special ed class for three years before starting kindergarten. In kindergarten he had an IEP and had a teachers aide assist him through class, he has come so far. He was able to start first grade this year and graduated out of having an IEP. My third child, and second son Brock was also diagnosed with SPD, and is attending the same class that his brother Coleton did. I am hopeful that he too will be able to follow his brother in graduating out of an IEP when it is needed.

I am constantly on the look out for items that will help with sensory, this chair has a pull down hood, allowing a secret hiding spot. The light fabric will let the light in, so Brock would never be completely in the dark when the hood is shut. The spinning action of the chair helps his brain sort sensory impressions, which helps him. I gotta have this chair!
