While many may take it for granted, seating is essential in the world of disability. For students with disabilities, a classroom chair isn’t just a piece of furniture — it’s their entry point for learning. The right seat can completely change how students engage with classroom material.
Rifton’s Compass Chair provides a comfortable seating solution for students with physical and cognitive needs.
Here are a few features that highlight the chair’s versatility:
Rocking Chair Base: For students who need sensory engagement to stay focused in the classroom, the Compass Chair is engineered and tested to withstand continuous rocking and dynamic movement.
Dynamic Feet: The chair’s feet provide a subtle bouncing movement that helps release energy, improve focus and provide a calming effect.
Therapeutic Design: Contoured seat sides and armrest surfaces provide safety and sensory boundaries. This is particularly beneficial for students with autism spectrum disorder.
Safety Straps: In addition to a standard seat belt, the chair comes with a pelvic harness, which secures hips and upper thighs without abdominal pressure.
Other benefits include:
- A calming blue color and minimalist design
- A non-slip texture for added security and stability
- Promotion of better posture and alignment for improved learning focus
- Five available sizes to accommodate everyone from small children to adults
Many teachers and therapists are seeing a noticeable difference in their students’ level of engagement thanks to the Compass Chair.
