[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 529397, member: 1233"] Teachers like this are a blessing, aren't they? It is amazing how a teacher can either truly make a HUGE difference in a good way or they can completely cripple a chld and damage them so incredibly. We had some of each, but thankfully more of the great than the awful, at least after we moved to OK. Having something to fidget with often helps an adhd person concentrate. You can find all sorts of things at Occupational Therapist (OT) shops, like [url]www.southpawenterprises.com[/url], but I usually just go to the party supplies store here. I find little balls, esp ones iwth different textures, small toys that do not make noise, even tiny clothespins from the baby shower aisle, and keep a supply for my kids to take to school. This year I found awesome erasers - some were dice that could be rolled, I even found some that were shaped like legos and could be used to build things. Those were awesome for thank you at school. Wiz is now in college but he still keeps something like that in his backpack to help him concentrate. The party supply stores are a lot cheaper than the Occupational Therapist (OT) supply places, at least in my experience. While school probably provided the seat your son likes, they do not pay for the little toys she gives the kids. If you want to be nice, a gift cert to a party supply store or walmart would probably be appreciated. So would a little gift bag of assorted little things that maybe you and your difficult child could pick out for her to have for the class. Most teachers spend an amazing amount of their own $$ on supplies for the class. Not just books and things, for almost everything. [/QUOTE]
