Many of my students, in addition to learning disabilities and other academic challenges, face severe anxiety challenges daily in their academic settings. Small fidgets, such as calm strips, stress balls, rings...etc can be a simple addition to the classroom that makes a huge difference. Bands and lighting can also dramatically reduce the amount of anxiety a student faces during instruction. I am committed to providing and teaching useful strategies for my students to use in the classroom to face and overcome their anxieties. Rather than students struggling with their anxieties and having to leave the classroom to address and get support, my students will be able to be proactive. They will have the tools and learn how to utilize their supports in the class; allowing them to engage and be active members of the classroom.
