My Project

Please consider helping my students feel successful when completing writing assignments by providing them with adaptations to ease the fine motor and sensory demands of handwriting! Pencil grips offering a variety of support will allow all of my students with vastly different needs and abilities to progress their pencil skills and keep up with the curriculum.

Having the correct tools will give these students the confidence and ability to complete their assignments to the best of their abilities.

Supporting fine motor skills and sensory needs for all of my unique students sets them up for a successful academic year!
