You’re right Paul – when I mention this on workshops it’s amazing how many people instantly relate to the idea of them helping them to think (and so much better than clicking pens or other displacement activities!) – kathey

Nice one Kathey.
I am completely with you on the table toys issue and I really like your observation from the radio. I think a lot of people feel that way too (ADHD or not!).
Thanks for your comment.

I’ve used ‘toys on the table’ for years and always found they’ve had a positive impact. I have them on the table as people arrive and make it clear, if they ask, that they are ‘there to play with if you want to – it’s not compulsory’. People love them, and particularly like a phrase that I heard on the radio a while ago from someone who was ADHD – “When my hands are busy, my brain can think”.
