Nancy.Bagatell@quinnipiac.eduAbstractA single-subject design was used to assess the effectiveness of therapy ball chairs on classroom participation in 6 boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The sensory processing pattern of each participant was assessed using the Sensory Processing Measure. Data on in-seat behavior and engagement were collected using digital video recordings during Circle Time. During baseline, participants sat on chairs. During intervention, participants sat on therapy ball chairs. Social validity was assessed by means of a questionnaire completed by the teacher. Each child demonstrated a unique response. The ball chair appeared to have a positive effect on in-seat behavior for the child who had the most extreme vestibular-proprioceptive-seeking behaviors.
Children with poor postural stability were less engaged when sitting on the therapy ball chair. The results illuminate the complex nature of children with ASD and the importance of using sound clinical reasoning skills when recommending sensory strategies for the classroom.PMID: 21218680 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] MeSH TermsBehavior Control/methods*ChildChild Development Disorders, Pervasive/complicationsChild Development Disorders, Pervasive/rehabilitation*HumansInterior Design and Furnishings*Interpersonal RelationsMaleOccupational Therapy*/instrumentationPostureSelf-Help DevicesSensation Disorders/complicationsFull Text SourcesSilverchair Information SystemsOvid Technologies, Inc.Other Literature SourcesCOS Scholar UniverseMedicalAutism - Genetic AllianceAutism Spectrum Disorders - Genetic AllianceMiscellaneousNCI CPTC Antibody Characterization Program Office chairsComfortable office chairs mean more time concentrating on the job in hand rather than the pain in your back.

For starters, it’s completely round, save the single pedestal leg it stands and rotates on and the area cut out to accommodate the person sitting in it. When that person sits down, he or she is completely surrounded by the chair, which acts as a sort of “room within a room”, isolating them from the noises and distractions of the outside world. Aarnio even placed a telephone inside his original ball chair, should the sitter care to make a call. Aarnio’s inspiration for his amazing chair was simple enough. The Finnish designer had a new house, but no “proper big chair” to put in it. So like any good furniture maker, he set out to create his perfect chair himself. Once he decided on the round ball shape, he built his masterpiece by hand, constructing an inside mould out of plywood, forming the ball shape by covering it with wet paper and laminating the surface with fiberglass. He then removed the mould, upholstered the chair and added a pedestal leg – and the red telephone on the inside wall.
The result was one of the most remarkable chairs of the 20th century. The original Ball Chair still stands in Eero Aarnio’s house. But thankfully, it was discovered by two representatives of the Asko furniture company, who opted to produce and sell the piece on a limited scale. Now you can have your own Ball Chair in your house – and turn your place into the grooviest pad on the block. You May Also Like Tulip Dining Table - Round from £1394.00 inc.
