My Project

The pencil grips will most definitely help my students with their handwriting grasp. It can help them with correcting their posture so they can hold the pencils more efficiently and maturely. The swings will be an addition to my already existing indoor playground swing for my students. They can lay down and relax or they can hang upside down like a monkey! The dycem, interlocking mats and water weights will help make my current playground swing a safe and fun place for therapy. All of these materials together will help my students enjoy their therapy room so much more and help them with their school activities.
