For children whose nervous systems are running at high arousal — constantly seeking input, melting down, struggling to focus — this type of input is one of the most effective, portable regulatory tools available.

The more effort a child's hands have to make, the more proprioceptive input reaches the nervous system. Regular clay doesn't offer this level of regulatory benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan my child use this at school?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — it's compact, quiet, and non-messy enough to use discreetly at a desk. Many OTs recommend therapy putty as a classroom fidget tool for children with ADHD or sensory needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this part of a sensory diet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely.
