The ultimate chair for the classroom, the Rifton Activity Chair provides versatile, adaptable and active seating for every classroom activity.
The Rifton Activity Chair accommodates all children 40” – 56” tall with special needs, with its wide variety of chair features and accessory options. It is a positioning chair intended for classroom and home use enabling children to learn functional sitting skills while actively participating in activities, tasks, and routines.
A functional sitting position (rather than restrictive seated positioning to retain symmetry and limit tone) means that a child can actively use and develop his or her own core muscles and improve their own postural motor skill, allowing the caregiver to further reduce accessory support over time.

Active seating makes interactions immediate and real
Adaptive seating is provided for students and children that require positioning support. How children are positioned while sitting can impact the use of their upper extremities for self-feeding and other activities, as well as positively affect children at risk for spinal deformity. Proper positioning can have a very positive outcome on a child’s ability to learn. This article will focus on three styles of classroom chairs: corner chairs, adaptive chairs and bolster chairs.
Corner chairs provide external support for children who have inadequate postural control of the head, neck and trunk. This postural control is essential for visual scanning and attending, breathing, speaking and eating. If the arms and shoulders are being used to assist postural control, the child will be unable to develop mobility of the arms and hands for exploration and manipulation. The corner-shaped back permits the child to free the arms and hands for play.
