My ideas The bus is tough because the kids have held it together all day and now they are so close to "free"...try to talk to driver and make him/her aware of your child's struggle--sympathy helps...I have taken to giving my son a "fidget toy" in morning--just for bus ride to school and back--something form the dollar store that stretches, for example...keeps in backpack while at school--takes it out in bus line...Hope it helps !

BusyBus Very similar issue and I put together a little zipper bag that was shaped like a bus and we called it J's BusyBus and he took it on the bus with him everyday and we filled it with different activities each week it helped keep him out of trouble. Quote
