Giffin has a very hard time with fine motor skills.  He needs some handy tricks to help him to keep from getting frustrated.      

     It can be very expensive to purchase assistive technology.  So here are some inexpensive ideas to help with that

       The Glow Sticks are for students who have trouble with fine motor skills. This way they can just lay out the letters using Glow sticks to form the letters. 

 

      Griffin may find writing to be a very daunting task. The Ball Scoop is great for practicing fine motor skills. This is particularly good for a student who is non verbal. The Ball Scoop can be used to practice sliding the ball to an answer on a Math worksheet.

         The Glue Dobber is a much larger writing utensil than the pencil, which helps any student who  has a challenge with the hand grip.

        The Muffin Tray is much more sturdy and stable, than a cup or ice-cream carton, for holding paint. Some students The Shaving brush will glide across the page and hold the paint in the bristles from the muffin tin. I'm sorry, the pictures are giving me some technical difficulties, but they should hopefully be loaded in soon.
