Finally, it’s time to talk about specific assistive technology tools and supports for the mechanics of handwriting.
✍️ If a student is able to utilize their hands to move them across the page, there is probably an adapted writing aid that will work for them! Whether it’s as simple as a pencil grip or as extensive as the tool our friends at @imaginable.solutions created with Guided Hands, there is probably a solution available! Be sure to check out the cool grip seen here on the bottom right by @makersmakingchange as well! The most important first step is to consider what features a tool might need for the student to be successful.
‼️ Remember: First the team should simply create a brainstormed list of the tools you think might work before narrowing it down.
