Sitting

Sitting balance is important for safety (to avoid falling and to protect body structures) and can impact an individual’s attention to a task. Occupational therapists address sitting balance at all stages of life to improve an individual’s independence completing activities like sitting while tying a shoe, learning in class, sitting at the dinner table, etc.
