  Case: The Pincher
What do you do with an ESE student that loves to pinch and when redirected he bounces he has broken five chairs in our class i don't know what to do with her. Plus he is really big and healthy so we try to redirect approach more than ever?



































































































































Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One option is to give the student something different to pinch, such as play-dough or a stress ball or a stuffed animal. If this doesn't help the issue, I would work to provide incentive for appropriate behavior. Praise the student when they are not pinching others.

Comments: Giving students something else to focus their energy into has always worked every time I've seen it. That's the logic behind fidget spinners. This should be a great idea.

(Assuming it doesn't become a toy used to hurt your classmates like fidget spinners)

Comments: I agree with this. It sounds like this student wants a specific form of sensory input, so giving them manipulatives would be a good start to stopping this.
