They are particularly drawn to the calming tools, like fidget toys, which they say make it easier to focus during lessons. The sense of ownership and control over their learning environment has been empowering for them.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, has experienced a transformation thanks to these items. This student previously struggled with staying engaged in class and often needed frequent breaks. Since using the sensory items, they've not only improved their concentration but have also been more enthusiastic about participating in group activities. Their confidence has grown, and it's been inspiring to see them take pride in their progress.\r\n\r\nThese sensory tools are more than just classroom additions—they are lifelines for many of my students, giving them the comfort and support they need to succeed.
