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!) I think it would be a great idea. It is important to respect students and their desired form of stimulation, as long as it does not harm themselves or others. If you have a concern about a student's stimming, it would be smart to discuss with their parents ways in which you can redirect them and/or provide an appropriate means of stimulation. However, there is no harm in accommodating for student's stimming safely and appropriately. I have used combs, tooth brushes, string, playdough, rubber band balls, felt wires, etc. As for students that like to be rough, you could use pillows, padded mats, punching bags, bean bags, medicine balls, etc. Heck, I had a student that was obsessed with taking apart electronics, so I sent out an email asking if anyone had anything that they would not mind donating so the student could take it apart.
