#Neurodivergent #SensoryNeeds

- For the Body: Flexible Chair Bands allow for constant, quiet movement (bouncing/pushing) while remaining seated, helping to ground focus.
- For Managing Anxiety: Picky Pads and the Silent Fidget Wristband offer discrete, portable relief for anxiety-driven fidgeting.

- For the Desk: Pencil Fidgets (Textured Sleeves) and the Silicone Sensory Fidget Board offer discrete hand engagement without noise.
- For Oral Input: Sensory Chew Necklaces provide a safe, acceptable way to manage oral stimming (chewing).

We’ve curated a list of the most effective, discreet, and neuro-affirming tools for home and the classroom. These resources are chosen because they channel the need for movement without disrupting learning:

It keeps just enough of the motor cortex busy to allow the main hearing/processing centers to stay locked onto the information being presented. The result? Better retention and less mind-wandering. Reference - www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-thi...

Research shows engaging in light, non-complex doodling, such as drawing repetitive shapes or small patterns, actually helps the brain maintain focus on the primary auditory task. Doodling engages the brain's "fidgeting" instinct, preventing the working memory from using its resources to wander.

Omega-3s are a crucial component of brain cellular health, influencing concentration, memory, and emotional regulation. Given the potential for deficiency in children with ADHD, exploring supplementation (under professional guidance) is a key part of a holistic approach to support.

How to Implement This with Your Student:
1 - Define the Task: Be ultra-specific (e.g., "Finish the first 10 math problems,")
2 - Define the Reward: The reward must be immediate and high-interest.
3 - Use the Formula: Write it down: "IF I complete [Task], THEN I get to [Reward]."
