School Counseling in Largo's Pinellas County Schools

Largo falls within Pinellas County Schools (PCS), one of Florida's largest school districts serving over 97,000 students across the county with 24 schools in the Largo area alone. Pinellas County Schools' ESE department coordinates a robust continuum of special education services, with school counselors embedded at every campus serving students across the full range of developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs. Largo's school population reflects the city's demographics: a significant proportion of students come from households where grandparents or older relatives serve as primary caregivers — creating unique counseling contexts around family grief, caregiver stress, and multigenerational household dynamics. Hurricane anxiety is a persistent counseling theme in Pinellas County, where evacuation zones and seasonal storm anxiety affect students each fall. Counselors work within PCS's MTSS framework to deliver Tier 1 SEL programming, Tier 2 small groups, and Tier 3 intensive support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does putty actually help with ADHD?
Research from the University of Central Florida shows that rhythmic fidgeting improves working memory in ADHD adults by 10–15%. Putty provides resistance-based sensory input that gives your hands something meaningful to do — unlike light plastic fidgets that lose their appeal in a week. Our customers use Beast Putty during meetings, on calls, and while working to stay focused without distracting anyone around them. It won't replace your meds, but it might replace your destroyed pen caps.
Will it dry out?
No. Beast Putty is made from premium silicone — not the rubber-based stuff that hardens into a rock after a week in your desk drawer. Keep it in the jar when you're not using it and it stays exactly the same. Months later, same stretch, same resistance, same color shift.
Is Beast Putty appropriate for students processing grief or loss?
Yes. Beast Putty provides tactile comfort that supports emotional regulation without requiring verbal processing — making it especially effective for students in grief counseling who need a hands-busy anchor during difficult conversations. Largo counselors find it useful when working with students whose grandparent or older caregiver has died.
Can Beast Putty be used for hurricane anxiety counseling groups?
Yes. Largo and Pinellas County school counselors use Beast Putty during storm-preparedness and anxiety psychoeducation groups as a grounding tool. The tactile input supports breathing exercises and helps students anchor present-moment awareness during discussions of evacuation and storm fears.
