Engage the core, awaken the brain, and anchor their focus.

Transform restless energy into quiet concentration with our Action Based Learning Balance Desks. Designed to bridge the gap between physical health and academic focus, these desks allow students to rock, sway, and balance subtly while they work. By engaging the core and lower body, students naturally increase blood flow and oxygen to their brains—keeping them alert, engaged, and ready to learn without ever leaving their workstation.

Student balance desks provide a healthy physical outlet for fidgeting that won't disrupt neighbors or the teacher, making it perfect for active classrooms.

These desks actively engage core muscles to promote upright, healthy posture and proper physical development during the school day.

Ideal for kinesthetic learners and students who struggle to sit still in traditional, rigid classroom seating!

*Target age group for our student balance desks is 2nd-12th grade.

Educational Uses

CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION
Children with balance boards on their desks can work their legs and core to balance while participating in classroom discussion or doing their classwork. The desk is user-powered, making movement optional! Although rare, students not interested in moving have the option to relax and listen in class!

PARTNER WORK
Partners take turns on the balance board and pedal desk, switching every 10 minutes.

ADD ACADEMICS
Teachers use the balance board to engage students in countless activities! For example: Students answer questions during instruction by either standing on one foot, switching feet, or using both to balance.

MORNING WAKE UP
Start the morning off right with a brain booster! Have students warm-up their brains with a Walk & Talk session (suggested classroom activities provided by author Shoecraft, Lengel, & Moize in ABL Books & Manuals).

GO FULLY KINESTHETIC!
Outfit an entire classroom with student balance desks and various movement stations. Research indicates variety is KEY when implementing alternative seating and kinesthetic desks into an active classroom

OR START SMALL
Start with a student balance desk in your classroom & implement a rotation schedule for all students to benefit from the movement!

About Active Classroom Furniture

Our classroom furniture is built to promote Low Intensity Steady State (LISS) movement. This level of activity optimizes blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain and activates BDNF, which stimulates the growth of new brain cells without causing exhaustion.

Backed by Brain Science.

ABL active learning and sensory equipment provides a non-distracting, silent way to allow children to move, fidget, wake their brains up and stay engaged and focused in the classroom.

This makes it easy for schools to accommodate all learners and keep the focus on serving the needs of the whole child. Action Based Learning aligns with the CDC framework for addressing health in schools, The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child, or WSCC model.To learn more about the science behind movement and learning educational furniture, check out Action Based Learning Training Academy
