My Project

My students make the most of what they have, and I want them to have access to the best therapy materials to meet their full potential. The use of the floor mat and peanut ball will improve their gross motor skills, which will result in improved fine motor and writing skills, leading to overall academic success. The pencil grips will help train students in older grades to improve their grasp and write the neatest that they can. Children learn through play, and I want them to have fun too! Thanks!
