My Project

I have been a special educator for 27 years and each year my students are more and more unfocused and fidgety.

They have a difficult time "keeping it together" in their classes all day.

When they come to me for small group resource, I want to provide them with tools in my room (safe space) to help mange their ADHD and excess energy. They can unwind a bit, let loose and relax. I believe the fidget rings, wobble chair, and mini stepper will help out with their excess energy and the outcome will be better focus and grades.
