Writing Made Easy: With Adaptive Tools

Funded Jun 26, 2024

With the supplies provided by you my students and I have been practicing handwriting. The paper, stamps, books, and grippers have provided my students with much needed adaptations that have facilitated their writing. In one particular case, I have been able to expand more options with cursive handwriting with a student who is now excited to use our new paper and workbook. He has asked for extra paper to practice during his "choice time" within the classroom!

The students have all been more interested in practicing their writing skills (which in general is not their favorite activity). Many of them had never seen all the modifications that are possible, in spite of having visual processing difficulties. They are now aware and able to utilize these tools that are meant to help them learn. You have opened up more opportunities and options for my students who struggle with visual motor skills.

My next goal will be to assist the transition between therapy room and classroom. So that my students carry on their new equipment into their learning wherever that may be. I'm excited to see their handwriting become more and more legible, their ideas put into paper and their excitement for writing grow!”

With gratitude,
