Classroom Therapy Balls for Children with ADHD Have Positive Effect

S. Mulligan presented the idea that one effective intervention approach might be to adapt the classroom environment to meet the children’s needs. One possible strategy for adapting the classroom was the use of therapy balls which have now proven to improve attention, sustained sitting, and academic performance of children. Although no specific studies had been conducted at the time of Mulligan’s recommendations, therapy balls were considered an optional treatment modality for children with ADHD.
