Seating Disk

Why should I do it?

• Some students require the need for outside stimulus to help them maintain focus

When should I do it?

• When a student has difficulty staying in seat or is overly fidgety
• When a student is hyperactive
• When a student is on the Autism Spectrum

How do I do it?

• See an administrator to locate one
• Explain to the student that the disk is a tool, designed to help them stay focused in class
• Allow the student to share it with the class if that is needed but refrain from giving it too much attention
