[quote=Anonymous]This is a common thing.  Sometimes it's one kid, sometimes it's 2 or 3, sometimes it seems like it's half the class.  Humming, tapping, throat clearing, singing, kicking the desk.  I think the best way to handle it is for the teacher to ask/tell the kid/s to stop.  As many times as is necessary.  The kids need to learn how to control it.  Most of them can.

It may be that normal strategies haven't worked with your kid OP.  They could move the kid away from the rest of the class to do their work during quiet times but that is a bit of an extreme and anxiety producing thing to do that might make the situation worse in various ways.  A short walk with an aide sounds ok but actually doesn't seem like it would help other than to make the class quieter while they are gone.  Many kids would love to go for a walk periodically and might therefore increase the behavior.

Not sure there is anything you can do about this at home.  Hopefully he will grow out of it.  Sometimes a bit of social discomfort helps, once the kid really realizes the other kids are annoyed.[/quote]
