My Project
Our school has a high special education population and we try to make sure they have everything they need to help them be successful.
We have some new Kindergarteners that have special needs but we need safe fidgets for them.
Some students put items in their mouth so some of our typical fidgets we use for our students with ADHD do not work for our students with Autism.
I want to make sure all students have what they need but we need to make sure the items we are giving them are safe. I am looking for fidgets that cannot be bitten or broken into dangerously small pieces. I want to have items that may help calm students or get them engaged in conversation.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
