My Project

My students have wonderful imaginations, and with the proper tools to meet their sensory needs, they would be more prolific writers and illustrators. My students have a variety of sensory needs, and this project contains a variety of specialty pencils, pens, and pencil grips to meet the unique sensory needs of my students. These tools would enable them to form proper pencil holding habits and be able to write and draw more in class.

My students need specialty pencils, pens, and pencil grips to meet their sensory needs to continue to make progress in writing.
