  Case: Ants in Pants
In my internship there is a student that can not sit still, and is often a distraction for the other students. The teacher often allows him to stand next to his desk while he is working. This seemed to work for a short while, but now his constant fidgeting has become even more of a distraction. Has anyone found any helpful tactics that could help?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe the use of Fidget toys could be helpful in this situation. Also the use of a movement space option that would be helpful give the student their own safe place to move away from the students to not distract others.

Comments: I agree! Fidgets, the mesh-in-marble, in particular can be soothing but minimally distracting to the other students.
