My Project

As an OT teacher dedicated to supporting children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), I am seeking your valuable assistance in providing my students with comprehensive resources and materials to enhance their handwriting legibility.

By focusing on specific areas such as refining their visual motor skills, improving their correct letter formation and recognition, optimizing letter sizing, and ensuring appropriate letter spacing through handwriting workbooks, increasing hand strength through the use of stress relief squishy balls and restive theraputty hand exercises, and improving a dynamic tripod grasp using functional pencil grip for handwriting aim to facilitate remarkable progress in their handwriting abilities.

By equipping my students with targeted resources in these areas, we can empower them to achieve greater success and independence within the dynamic classroom environment.

Your support in sourcing these resources will play a crucial role in unlocking their potential and fostering a positive learning experience for each student. Together, we can pave the way for their academic growth and overall well-being.
