What are some ways we can keep the student working and focused instead of eating his papers? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Using laminated papers or dry erase boards are a good suggestion. The student may have some oral fixation issues. It would be a good idea to bring this to the guidance counselor's attention. Additionally, I would get in touch with the occupational therapist at the school and see if they have some type of 'chewy' to put on the end of the student's pencil or on a lanyard for them to use rather than their paper.
