Let+Em'+Move!

At first it will be a distraction. Eventually the novelty will wear off and only the kids who really need it will use it.
 * 1. Keep a mini-trampoline in your room for movement breaks**


 * 2. Don't take away recess. **

**3. Thera-bands around desk legs or chairs**

**4. Set up a movement corner** Designate a small corner of the room as a "movement corner". Allow students to go back there and stretch when they need a break.

**5. Clipboard** Allow the student to stand or walk with a clipboard as long as the student stays on task.

**6. Fidgets** Give the student something small and quiet that they can fidget with during a lesson. A koosh ball, silly putty, a pencil with a fidget on the top. For some kids this will create a bigger distraction. But for other kids this may help them concentrate.

**7. Chewing Gum** There is research to support that chewing on gum can help students maintain focus.
