Fidget tools
Fidget tools are small objects used for movement or sensory input. They can help some people focus or stay calm.
Definition
Fidget tools include stress balls, textured items, or silent fidgets. They can provide sensory input without disrupting others. The best tools are quiet, safe, and agreed in context. They are a support, not a distraction for everyone.
