Hi Roz
obviously it depends what adaptations the students need, but we had a
student who required a chair that kept her posture properly aligned and
we also found the logistics of equipping all the right rooms with
suitable chairs to be problematic.
Instead, we bought a Back Friend which the student carried with her and
put onto existing chairs wherever she happened to be. In her case, this
provided a suitable amount of support and wasn't too heavy.
You can see what one looks like at:
