My Students

I work with an amazing group of resilient, funny, and engaging students ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade. Many of my students receive special education services. Most come from a community that is equally as amazing and resilient, but struggles with the typical challenges of any underserved neighborhood. Our kids come from mixed family systems of all types, shapes, and sizes.

The students who come through my door are referred for behavioral and mental health concerns, including ADHD, anger outbursts, anxiety, depression, abuse, and severe trauma histories.

I use a variety of evidence-based methods to provide clinical treatment in order to improve both academic progress and overall well-being. Part of my interventions include providing students with the skills and tools that they need to be successful in the classroom.

My Project

The fidgets that my kids use go beyond the infamous fidget spinners - these fidgets are carefully chosen for each individual student - students who have needs ranging from sensory feedback to anxiety coping skills, to fidgets that help with frustration tolerance.

One of the most popular fidgets with my students has been the Fidget Cube, which allows students a 6-sided cube, each side providing a different activity/sensory feedback to calm anxiety or improve focus during class.

The fidgets are intended to be used both in our sessions and in the classroom, where the students can make use of the important lessons of coping skills and relaxation skills that we work on weekly. In conjunction with the teacher, these fidgets provide students with a release, giving them something to do with their hands while they focus on their most important task - learning.
