These items are designed to help children with ADHD, anxiety and emotional regulation. The wobble chairs and chair bands will be used for children with extreme symptoms of ADHD as well as children who struggle to release stress appropriately. Children of this age group generally struggle with fidgeting and sitting still, but my students have added trauma that expresses itself in similar ways and pushes these behaviors to an extreme level. These tools will be used to help students release energy and stress by allowing them to move freely without getting into trouble for a behavior that is used as a way to cope with stress. My students are being called out more frequently for excessive movement and disruption which then causes more anxiety about something that they feel like they can't control. This then takes their attention off of the lesson and turns into misunderstood frustration that causes further disruption and aggressive behaviors. .
