My Project
In Occupational Therapy we work on helping students with disabilities become more independent in their daily lives and activities. OT helps students with visual processing and/or fine motor difficulties build stronger muscles, skills, and most importantly, confidence! In the school setting handwriting can be a challenging and frustrating activity for students. It can be especially tough when students don't have the fine motor skills to hold a writing/coloring utensil correctly, which makes coloring, drawing, and writing difficult for them. This is especially the cas iPad.
But when students are provided with an adaptive stylus that promotes a proper pencil grasp without them realizing it, it can create life long muscle memory which can positively impact their overall handwriting abilities!
These students work so hard to define their skills and defy their disability. I have already seen amazing success with using these adaptive iPad styluses to transform and solidify a proper pencil grasp for numerous students in Occupational Therapy sessions. For proper carryover, I want to provide teachers in my school with these styluses in order to continue to help students with solidifying a proper pencil grasp in the classroom setting.
