Attention Deficit Disorder/ ADHD

Do you have students that just can't seem to sit still?
Students that try to diverge your attention at all cost?

With one of my students, I have been experimenting with a way to keep them focused and on task without them even realizing it.
I have been offering them a small piece of clay that they may mash and mold at their leisure.
By giving them something kinesthetic to focus their attention on, they are able to stay more on task throughout our lessons.

I don't totally understand the psychology behind this, but it seems to be working.
Try it out and let us know if it works for you!
