That’s really motivating, especially for someone who might feel overwhelmed at the start. Your journey of building and adapting tools over time shows that it’s okay to grow gradually and figure things out along the way. I also like how your work focuses on making therapy fun and playful, because that’s what really helps kids stay engaged and learn better.

I love to hear about successes. I have seen enough of them to not worry too much about pencil grasp any more. In OT we try to help what can be helped and let the little things be what they are. Thank you for your comment.

I have this exact pencil/pen grip. My parents tried to correct this when I was at primary school but the teacher ended up telling them not to bother. I have nearly finished my PhD in Education. I struggle to write neatly, but ultimately my pen grip has not held me back from anything in life. Embrace this little stuff.

Scientific studies have shown that work at a slant reduces visual stress. So, there is more than one good reason to use a slant board!

My service dog and I got soaked through while being loaded on the paratransit bus the train was so bad. Ones that are for sale are too short for me. I am an experienced seamstress as far as setting my own clothes go. Think I could handle this.

I have an adult using these on a pen, should work well on paintbrushes too, just might want smaller sizes as brushes are smaller diameter. We experimented with weight above the grip (so the grip was the same on the pen and not wider) as well as lower so the grip was fatter.

I noticed that the lily pads only seem to have #’s 1 – 4 whereas there are 6 sides on a dice. Is 4 the maximum amount they can get? For the bugs on the side, there are 7 of them, how would that work?
