[quote=Anonymous]If the teacher has an Amazon wish list, look for items *that are on the wishlist* that might help with classroom management or are therapeutic . For example, if she’s asked for a Time Timer, get that. If she’s asked for multiple Time Timers, get them all. If she’s asked for chew toys (yes, chew toys), or sit-and-move-cushions, or special OT pencil grips, those are the things to focus on, within your budget. Cute lamps and cushions don’t help her manage her classroom. If she hasn’t asked for therapeutic items, buy her books. Why therapeutic items? Because I’ve seen a child go from a distraction to perfectly-behaved with just the addition of a sit-and-move -cushion. When a kid who’s struggling gets what they need, it gives the teacher time. Time they would have spent managing behavior can now be spent focusing on order children, including yours. [/quote]
