Although fidget tools may not seem like an object that would sharpen focus,  science actually proves that it does. In the “Fidgets: What are they and how can they help?” a study conducted by the Friendship Circle, showed that children in a sixth grade writing class increased their average writing scores to 83% from 73%, with the incorporation of stress balls.

 

This study also revealed that a student in the class who had a medical diagnosis of ADHD, showed the most progress with an increase of 27% on a writing sample.

 

Infact up to 60% of children with Autism are also diagnosed with ADHD. When Jose came across this information, he knew that fidget toys would positively impact Joel's concentration.
