Even adding it to an IEP teachers are faced with it effecting other students around, especially in younger grades.0 -

My son has had one for years and never had a problem being able to use it in class to help with his focus. This last year though they became a toy for all the kids and now my son can't even use his, unfortunately.
That's a shame. Same thing happened to my friend's kid who is also in my daughter's class. He's a high functioning autistic & it helped him focus a lot, but now he can't use it for the same reasons.0 -
I have 6.
I can spin one on my nose and one on each hand.
Okay...my son has 6, but I let him use them once in a while3 -

An IEP is a legal document, so if it's on there, it has to be enforced. But it's tricky because ultimately teachers have to read their kids. I have kids in my class all over the spectrum, and you just have to read them and see if they're really using it to help with focus or if it's becoming more of a distraction; whether it's helping or hindering their learning. Frequent comprehension checks help determine that. If it's not working, another strategy can be tried. I just reiterate their purpose occasionally, and the kids are doing fine with them. It could be worse... they could be as obsessed with--DUN DUN DUNNNN!!--recorders!! Oh, the horror. I think the melody has been taken from teachers' tears lol2 -
Hate fidget spinners.
Love fidget spinner memes.0 -
i dont get it. i have one, i bought one as a gag gift for my brother, got one for myself.
it spins, then what?1 -
I bought each kid one for $4. They lost them inside of a couple days. When they whined for new ones I pointed to the gigantic swi g set and said "there ya go".
It's a fad that should be over by next week0 -
I had a go with one yesterday. I don't get it either , just spins round
I understand it's use for children with ADHD etc but for anything else I just don't understand it0 -
At the school where I work, spinners are banned for ALL kids but those prescribed a diversion are allowed fidget cubes, tangle toys or bits of blu-tack. When I was young "clackers" were the big thing, banned because they were apt to shatter and send pieces flying. Every generation has something!0
