Standing desks change the way students work, and improve physical and mental health. Standing is actually proven to be one of the most effective ways to improve memory and focus. One of the immediate benefits of a standing desk is increased focus. It can be especially tough for our students with ADHD to sit still all day. There have been many studies conducted proving that standing desks in classrooms can help children with ADHD focus on the lesson by allowing for some non-disruptive movement at their desk. The health benefits of using standing desks can also have a lifelong impact.
