I had a meeting with my son's counselor at high school today. We were trying to figure out why his scores on his PSAT were lower than any formal test scores he has ever had before. The issue of having to remain seated at a desk for a couple of hours without any break came up and it occurred to me that at home, he never sits at a table or desk surface to do school work . . .always reclines on a couch or in a lazy boy chair. He does sit at table for meals and is very much humped over (He has kyphoscoliosis, btw).
So, I began to wonder if anyone out there has ever had help with adaptive seating for kids with kyphosis in the classroom?
His counselor told me that if the doctors issue a statement that his kyphosis can result in problems remaining seated for lengthy times, he will be qualified for Title 15 which simply means that adaptations to his day/program/seating must be made.
Anyone out there with any experience or ideas? When I asked my son if the seating at school is comfortable, he said "no". I asked him what he does and he said he slouches sideways all day in the desk. Now that can't be good, can it?
