We work in a small alternative school with students who are all here because they struggle with focus, emotional struggle and lack of social skills due to traumas, experiences and disabilities. These children all deserve love, patience, compassion and empathy and our staff offers these to them every single day. The students themselves asked for these fidget toys in order to work for something that will help focus and be more successful in class. Fidget toys serve as minor distractions which can boost focus and productivity by giving your child's mind a break and making it easier to pay attention. While anxiety, stress and other disorders such as ADHD can affect the entire body, they most notably affect the hands and fingers. Please help us have these available to best support our super awesome students.
