Strategies are given for ways to potentially increase their attention to tasks as well as help them be calm when being over active or “wound up”.

Weighted Sensory Lap Pad


Weighted lap pads can be a calming strategy to use with kids who are feeling fidgety and wound up or anxious. The weight on their lap can provide some deep pressure which could be enough to make them feel calm and ready to sit and learn.


Gymnic Disc-O-Sit Inflatable Seat Cushion


This inflatable disc seat cushion can be used with kids who have that need to keep moving while they are sitting in one place! The disc can be used at home or in school for kids to sit longer while eating meals or doing school work at their desk. Also, great for circle time with the younger kids who need their own space to sit during this group activity.
The discs are lightweight, durable, and very easy to use!
