I keep a box next to the student computers in my room that contains pencils, scrap paper, and calculators for students to use at any time. The box also includes squishy balls of different textures and sizes, and
plastic objects that older students will utilize. Pencils
also have squishy grips for sensory/tactile input.
Some students do best with an object to manipulate while working or processing information, sometimes as a replacement for a behavior that is less socially acceptable (picking at skin, head scratching, etc.). These items allow students to access materials without ignoring sensory needs.
