My Project

Visual overlays and visual strips will help those students really struggling with reading due to underlying factors such as dyslexia, eye weakness, or visual motor difficulties be able to improve their reading skills by helping highlight as they follow along.

Every student is different and might require different resources to help meet them where they are at to succeed.

When it comes to a student struggling to hold a pencil so they can complete writing activities like their peers, a pencil grip could easily be the answer!

Lastly, the rubber bands for our steamroller machine are the last missing piece we need to make it functional to help those kids with those sensory seeking needs be able to sit down and focus on academic tasks.
