  Case: Stemming
Children with ESE love to Stem and they like to do it on people or a hard object. They like to feel lots of pressure, I wanted to know if it would be appropriate to give them massage vibrator that they could use on their skin or body?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on the student they would like this type of stimming. It is normally students that have Autism or sensory processing disorder. Children like different types of stimming. I have dealt with students that may accept this type of stimming. Each student may need different stimuli when stmimming. I have seen students that lick paper, that need arm squeezes( in IEP), clap hands together, shake fingers and more. I get the idea of asking parents before allowing them to use massage vibrator. I do not know if I would ask parents because I would not ask them if I was going to add other toy/tool. I may have it in a central location if I was concerned in anyway.
