I support special programs classrooms whose students need modifications and adaptations to demonstrate what they know. One successful tool I can't stop using is the Twist and Write pencil, or the "rocket" pencil as we call it. Having the adapted pencil is a game-changer for many of my students who fatigue quickly or are still developing a functional grasp pattern. Additionally, when I purchase them myself, they often go misplaced or broken and the teacher needs more. Help me stock the classrooms with this adapted tool and support student's development of ideas!
