Slant Boards, Therabands and Disc-o-sit can help focus Reluctant Writers.

Is your child having difficulty controlling movement long enough to formulate ideas and get them on paper?  


There are many uses for the slant board. The Super Slant Board is perfect for use by individuals of all ages in developing fine motor skills, in providing a distraction-free surface for writing or reading, and in addressing task-related postural problems.  Back and neck pressure is reduced allowing more upright posture and minimizing fatigue in writing and drawing.

Therabands on the legs of chairs can help the child to release pressure through their feet so their mind can focus long enough to write. 




Also, another helpful aid is the Diso-o-Sit, which allows the child to have body movement while sitting and get the 'wiggles' out therfore taking away that anxiety and allowing the student to focus on the writing task.
