  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?

Create a reward system.

Comments: Rewards are great incentives and may work for a short time but to help the student all day , everyday? This solution needs more options like different seating or an activity that can be done to help them with being a wiggle worm.

Comments: I would not do this. A reward system might work for a short time but after that the problem could persist. This issue is bigger than being fixed with a reward system.
