Facilitator will determine which tool is best based on the individual’s

maturity and learning style).

Auditory Orientation and Fine-Tuning (to enhance focus and balance

through sense of hearing)

Release (stress-reduction and relaxation technique)

Energy-dial (self-regulation of energy level)

Koosh Ball Exercise (to improve focus, balance, and coordination)
