Generally, pre-school education encourages children to sit on the floor and the school age education encourages sitting on a chair.
For neurodiverse children and young people, they often use a lot more of their senses. For example, sitting on a floor can allow them to feel the vibrations of a drum.
Therefore, follow the young person’s lead. Watch if the young person prefers to sit on the floor or chair when engaging in activities. As adults, it may feel different to sit on a floor and not feel “proper.” However, following the child’s lead allows for a better opportunity for the child to engage in ways that they find appropriate.
