Standing Desks for ADHD

Can’t Sit Still at Work? Try Standing Desks

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders affecting children and adults. People with ADHD often have difficulty, at times, maintaining focus, controlling fidgeting and impulsive behaviors, and paying attention. Those with ADHD who find it hard to focus while sitting down and working can benefit from standing ADHD desks, as they allow them to be more stimulated.

ADHD in the Workplace

People diagnosed with ADHD may find that it affects their work in a variety of ways. Having ADHD can make working at a seated desk difficult, because many people with ADHD enjoy being able to move throughout the day. Managers can support their employees who have ADHD by providing the option to use standing desks, which have been shown to improve focus & productivity.

Benefits of ADHD

Those with ADHD have many strengths that make them valuable employees, often including exceptional traits like:

  • Ability to hyper focus on tasks
  • Ability to form creative and innovative solutions
  • High levels of energy

Because ADHD is part of life for many people, researchers have found ways to help leverage the benefits of ADHD in the workplace. Simple changes like using the correct ADHD desk setup can maximize these strengths while managing ADHD behaviors.

Benefits of Standing Desks for ADHD

Standing desks offer several benefits over traditional stationary desks for those with ADHD:

  • Provide variation, encouraging mental clarity whatever the task at hand may be
  • Provide a chance to move freely, increasing chances of staying focused
  • Can lead to increased confidence in the team member’s role (more focused=more productivity=better results)
