Sensory+Issues


 * 1. Velcro under desk or chair (or anywhere that it can be a type of 'fidget' for the kid to mess with...) **

Make sure it is tall enough and wide enough to block the student's view of the room. It won't do any good if it doesn't reduce visual distractions.
 * 2. Study Carrell **

**3. Earplugs (for the student)** These can be purchased at Wal-Mart. For some kids they are merely another distraction. But if auditory distraction is a problem it can help them during independent work times.

For independent work times. Do students have trouble when they are supposed to be listening to a story and follow along? Try loading it on an MP3 player. Load music that isn't //too// enjoyable so they aren't more distracted by the music. White noise is another option.
 * 4. I-pod or MP3 **

Allow the student to wear sunglasses while he/she works. Dim the lights during work time.
 * 5. Sensory Sensitivity to Light? **
