Top Back-to-School Items for Kids with ADHD, According to Therapists

Therapists recommend several back-to-school items for kids with ADHD to help them cope with sensory overload and improve focus in the classroom. These items include squishy sensory fidget balls, textured sensory strips, noise-canceling headphones, squishy spiky rollers, physical planners, push-pop fidget toys, twist fidgets, gel lap pads, and visual timers. These tools can provide sensory regulation, help with organization and time management, and create a more conducive learning environment for students with ADHD.
