Did you know that Fidgets are Tools not Toys? 🤯 One of our Learn4Life teachers created a personalized learning center at each table for students!

Fidget tools can help students cope with various challenges by providing sensory input that aids in focus, self-regulation, and stress relief. Here are several ways in which fidget tools are beneficial:

1. **Improved Focus and Attention**: For students with ADHD or other attention disorders, fidget tools can provide a manageable level of sensory input that helps them concentrate better on tasks. The repetitive motion or tactile stimulation helps filter out excess stimuli, enabling them to maintain attention on their work.

2. **Stress and Anxiety Reduction**: Fidgeting can be a natural response to anxiety. Having a designated tool to fidget with can channel this behavior productively, helping students manage their stress. The sensory feedback from these tools can be calming and grounding.

3. **Enhanced Self-Regulation**: Fidget tools can assist students in managing their impulses and maintaining self-control. This is particularly beneficial in classroom settings where sitting still and remaining quiet is expected. By providing a physical outlet

When Angelina, 18, thinks about her childhood, there are no fond memories for her. She was brought up in an unstable home environment, where sometimes there was no food in the house or electricity. Her family was homeless for two months, living in motels, and the stress on the family emerged in yelling and violence. As a shy child, she recalls being scared to go to school.

She was in foster care throughout her teens, going in and out of various homes and separated from her siblings. And then her aunt told her about Learn4Life's Marconi Learning Academy.

"Coming to this school was like a safe place for me. It blocked out all the pain that i was feeling," she explained. "The environment is very positive, and the teachers are so supportive. It is just a fun environment to be in."

Learn4Life's flexible schedule was ideal for her situation. She was able to take care of her little brother and get to her counseling appointments. The small group instruction fit Angelina's learning style and regular one-on-one tutoring helped her stay on track to graduate.
