Product Guide

Finn has been in Occupational Therapy for almost 2 years now. It has helped tremendously! Along the way we've tried an insane number of products, as I will buy anything to make things easier on him. I've decided to narrow the list down to what we've found works best.

Ferby Beginners Triangular Pencils are easy for a child to grasp and the lead is very soft, eliminating the need to use pressure.

Pen and Pencil Grips like these are great for adding extra comfort for little fingers during those repetitive practice sessions. It also stops the pencil from slipping.

Spring Scissors saved our child from never learning how to use scissors. He absolutely refused, until I bought these. I was convinced that he would somehow graduate from high school or even worse college, without being able to cut a piece of paper. The spring gives the scissors pressure for assistance in cutting. He cuts like a pro now!

Raised Line Paper has been a big help. The child can feel the line as they write.

Last but definitely not least is the iPad. This has made the biggest change in our lives. We have found a ton of inexpensive and free educational apps that Finn loves. Our latest purchase was a Wacom Stylus, which he uses to practice writing his letters. I highly recommend a durable case! We have many friends whose children have shattered their iPads. The Gumdrop has saved our iPad from complete destruction. I was totally against it at first because it isn't the lightest case. Let's just say that it has proven itself on a number of occasions. Check back next week for a list of Apps that I recommend!
