WHAT ARE SPOON THIEVES @ SCHOOL?

Spoon Thieves @ School is a deck of 50 cards depicting the daily activities, situations, and demands that use up the mental, physical and emotional resources of autistics or ADHD-ers at school. Based on Spoon Theory (Christine Miserandino), the Spoon Thieves @ School cards assist neurodivergent kids and teens to communicate about their challenges and support needs, so that school can become a better fit for them.

The Spoon Thieves @ School cards are intended to enable more thorough exploration of neurodivergent kids’ and teens’ experiences of school, than the original Spoon Thieves deck (which is relevant to school, home, and community activities and experiences). The deck contains 15 cards that are found in the original Spoon Thieves Deck, with another 35 cards that allow us to look more deeply at experiences, thoughts, and concerns about school.

The text is clear and direct, and each card is illustrated to assist with communication and shared understanding. The Spoon Thieves @ School cards were designed by a neurodivergent psychologist, to enable exploration of autistic and ADHD energy and how this may be depleted more quickly at school, than is the case for neurotypical students.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Spoon Thieves @ School can be used with children and teens (the youngest I have used them with is eight years, however it really depends on the capacity of the person to understand the language and concepts).

The Spoon Thieves cards help us understand why neurodivergent students can become easily overwhelmed, fatigued, or burnt out by school. They can help parents and families, teachers, therapists, to understand which factors at school are contributing to emotional dysregulation, meltdowns and shut downs, and school can’t (previously called school refusal).

HOW DO I USE IT?

In a therapy setting, the Spoon Thieves @ School cards can be used to explore which particular activities, settings, and situations use up the most spoons for autistic and/or ADHD individuals. Paired with a set of spoons (disposable ones are great as they can be written on and given to the person to keep), the cards can be laid out and categorised according to whether they use up a little or a lot of spoons.

For schools, the Spoon Thieves @ School cards can be used to educate at the classroom or whole-of-school level, while also providing valuable insights into individual students, their challenges, and support needs. When used effectively (in conjunction with appropriate accommodations and supports) Spoon Thieves @ School can help to reduce emotional dysregulation, sensory overwhelm, meltdowns, and demand avoidance, leading to calmer classrooms. They can be used to prevent school can’t, helping neurodivergent students to feel safe and supported to attend school. The Spoon Thieves @ School cards also provide amazing conversation and reflection points for staff development days, enhancing shared understanding and consistency of autism and ADHD supports provided throughout the school environment, and helping parents to feel that your school understands their child.

The cards are designed to be used flexibly to suit the setting and needs of the individual. They can improve communication, and help build self-understanding and self-awareness. They are ideal for helping parents and teachers to understand neurotypes and needs, and can be used to inform changes which reduce overwhelm, dysregulation, and school can’t.

Not recommended at all for heavy chewers
Size: Large (5" x 3.25" x 9"), Size: Large (5" x 3.25" x 9")
They advertise this toy as a heavy chewer toy and it’s not. My big dog chewed through it in a couple days and that’s with me yelling at him to chew it gently. I like the toy and it’s great for smaller less advid chewers. I put kibble in the holes and watch my Shiba go to town throwing it around but my mixed lab/dane has a nub of rubber left. So maybe don’t advertise it as a heavy chewer toy. The rubber is way too soft for you to be suggesting that. It did come with a strong chemical smell that my dogs didn’t like and I had to wash it 3x before they’d touch it.

Great value, durable, enriching
Size: Large (5" x 3.25" x 9")
$5 for the large size for our 15lb chiweenie mix was PERFECT. Her emotional support chew toy got destroyed and I wanted something I felt safe leaving in her kennel while I was out. She anxiously chews. Bought this to try out and she took a bit to get into it, but now she loves it. Probably could’ve gone with a smaller size, but oh well. We put treats inside and smear peanut butter or wet food on the dumbbell like ends for enrichment. So far has held up over 3 weeks.

A good choice
Size: Large (5" x 3.25" x 9")
Initially I put this toy in my save-for-later on Amazon. As I was perusing through one morning I noticed that it had been reduced so, I ordered it. It arrived promptly, was well packaged, and has been a good addition to my Doberman's toy box. It has not been chosen as the ultimate favorite, but he likes enough to select it, carry it around, and chew on it. To us there is no unpleasant odor. It is good solid rubber and despite all of his chewing maneuvers, there are not holes, marks, or bits of the ball where they should not be. He carries the toy in his mouth in the middle of the toy, but likes to lie on the floor, hold one ball end in his paws and chew on the other. Overall, I would give this a grade of a good, solid, reliable dog toy. I cannot address suction power, because I am not sure what is meant by that in a toy that is shaped like an old fashioned dumb bell. Top 3 Likes: -Durable rubber chew toy for large dog that is easily carried -Bright color making it easily visible -No offensive odors Top 3 Dislikes: -Serviceable toy, not a favorite -Could be chewed into little pieces by a very aggressive chewer (mine is not) -Poor at dispensing treats; they fall right out with no challenge

Wish I could give more stars after 8 months 🙌🏼
Size: Large (5" x 3.25" x 9")
I purchased this in June and I've come back in January to leave a review. This was the first toy I bought my dog I had it delivered while she was still in the shelter and it has lasted longer than any other toy. Not only can she not destroy it when she's actively trying but she still loves it she plays with it all the time I don't even need to put treats in it she just enjoys the texture. This toy was such a win. I have wasted so much money since then on other toys that say their indestructible and turn up in pieces. I wish I could give it more stars
