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!) Maybe let him go to the bathroom or get a drink of water every now and then when he gets really bad so he can just walk around without being a distraction. If he starts to fall behind in his school work though and continues to be uncontrollably fidgety I'd get a guidance counselor maybe and schedule an appointment with the parents (with the guidance counselor there) and brainstorm some ideas together to better help their son or maybe take him to the doctor to see what's wrong with him.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: You have some good ideas, however I also think that letting him walk around the room might pose as a distraction to the other students and he will also probably fall behind his schoolwork as well.
