What Do Yo Do With a Student Who Fidgets?

What Do You Do With a Student Who Fidgets?

Key Points: The article gives some great ideas to use for kids who do a lot of fidgeting in our classrooms. This article was a result of an article published earlier regarding the connection of ADHD, movement and learning.  I also see the same thing occurring in the classroom and when we take time to provide fidgets to our students, more learning occurs.

Intended Audience: Teachers, OT therapists, parents

Relevance: As teachers, no matter what type of classroom we will be working in, we will all encounter students who suffer from ADHD or symptoms of it.  These are some tools we can use to help learning occur.
