[QUOTE="Rhea, post: 31219, member: 3595"] Thanks, Despearado. Your info. is helpful. My difficult child is ADHD with oppositional behaviors. I am so tired of fighting with the SD regarding unconscious behaviors that over which his the only control his is able to exert is to comply with a request to stop the behavior immediately upon request. But, within a few minutes may again be tapping his pencil, foot, fingers or whatever, only to be yelled at, which in turn may or may not result in defiance. I know that there are those behaviors which can be modified, and I am 100% for working with the SD to change those behaviors. However, where tapping is concerned, the only reasonable thing to do is to provide him with some type of "silent" manipulative so that when his fingers heed the urge to move, the movement will not be distractive. He is constantly being yelled at for tapping because the noise "gets on his teacher's nerves." Well, just exactly what does she expect him to do? I am so tired of dealing with those in the educational setting who appear not to have received adequate training in dealing with a child who has a disabilty such as ADHD. Sorry for the long post. Just needed to vent. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
