Fidget toys are not merely toys for kids; adults with ADHD can use them too!
If you’re not familiar with fidget toys or why they can be important tools for people with ADHD and attention issues, check out our more detailed blog post on the subject. For a brief introduction to the topic, let’s turn to Roland Rotz, Ph.D, and Sarah D. Wright, who summarize it nicely:
Fidgets are simultaneous sensory-motor stimulation strategies — the four S’s.

If you know anyone with ADHD, attention issues, or just fidgety fingers, let them know there is a way to satisfy their fidgeting needs that won’t garner weird glances from their friends, fellow students, or coworkers. They’ll find it in the Fidgi Pen!
