Hi Helen.
I find a pipe cleaner wrapped around the end of a pen or a little wodge of Blutak very good for fidgeting with discreetly. Doodling
can help too – perhaps the student could be encouraged to doodle something that relates to the content of the lecture? Or, they could try something akin to Oliver West’s Footnotes grids (http://footnotesvmt.com/)?
Best regards,
Nikki

Subject: Tips to Help a Student in Lectures
Dear All
I have a student with a number of conditions including dyslexia and ADD.
They really struggle to concentrate in class and have found that they concentrate better on the class itself if they are doing something else at the same time. Typically they have tended to go on their computer or phone and go online,
but this is not popular with lecturers.
Does anyone have some suggestions of things that the student could do, that wouldn't be OK with their fellow students and lecturer? They have tried a fidget cube, but some of the students find it too noisy.
I'm going to chat with the students' lecturers, but it would be good to go back to the student with some ideas as to what they could do.
Thank you,
Helen.
