We are incorporating the fidget tools into our daily routines while also teaching students how to use them responsibly as part of self-regulation strategies. Our next steps include reinforcing emotional awareness, creating structured calming spaces, and helping students identify what tools work best for them so they can take ownership of their learning and well-being.\r\n\r\nThe generous snacks has brought comfort and appreciation from all the students.

Students who often feel overwhelmed now have access to a calming environment where they can focus, decompress, and re-engage.
