| Mar 24, 2017 at 15:05 | comment | added | WRX | LINK I really liked this info -- it includes ideas as well as information. I had the class where the students came out to and it was important to our students to not be obvious to the other students -- so subtle fidgets were 'best'. Times are different and your son may not feel like that. | |

He is fully integrated, but gets some accommodations like extra time for assignments/tests and a quiet environment for some tests, accounting for him being easily distracted. | |

| Mar 24, 2017 at 14:58 | comment | added | Acire | He will be ten in June, and is currently in 4th grade. I'm actively looking for strategies that we can experiment with through his 5th grade year so they'll be in place (both in a 504, and in his comfort/familiarity) for middle school. | |

They're quiet and help the student to focus while having something to keep them busy. These kids can multi-task and need to. How old is your son? You are not looking for toys. Some students liked rubber/elastic hair bands and they wore them on a wrist -- but they were small so it did not indent the skin. I had one student with a worry stone -- a pebble that he liked and had found on vacation. He rubbed it and could be very inconspicuous with it in a pocket. LINK | |
