Default fidgety kids

There are various kinds of "wiggle seat" that kids can put on their
chairs to allow them to wiggle a bit while still staying in their
chairs. (Here's a couple of examples:

This is another good example of something that kids in the schools I
work in have been able to use, but only when they have a diagnosis
that opens the door for educational accommodations. I've never seen a
parent be able to walk in with one and demand that the child be
allowed to use it unless they had an IEP or similar individualized
plan based on a diagnosis that supports the need for individualized
treatment.
