Multiple students with autism have used them to calm themselves when feeling distressed or overwhelmed at school. These tools are not only helping students regulate their emotions in the moment but also teaching them strategies they can use throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, our students are excited, engaged, and already beginning to grow, both socially and emotionally.
