How functionalhand® supports your child’s learning
For children who have difficulty with muscle tone, movement and motor skills, they may lack the hand control to hold writing utensils. This may impact their ability to complete academic skills at the level they are capable of. Participation in learning is made easier with the functionalhand®. It reduces fine motor demands allowing your child to focus on discovering letters, numbers, counting skills and so much more. Using the right tools can truly support your child’s learning and help them succeed in the classroom.
How Does the functionalhand® Support Multi-Sensory Learning?
Children learn through a variety of sensory experiences. Processing auditory and visual cues in combination with movement enhances cognitive or academic concepts. The functionalhand® reduces the physical demands of academic tasks and allows the child to have more energy to focus on learning. Tracing and copying activities are completed with less effort.
The functionalhand® allows children to participate in formal writing programs that teach letters such as “Handwriting without tears”.
Dot markers are another “tool” that the functionalhand® assists children to hold and practice number recognition and matching skills.
In addition to number recognition, there are a variety of activities a child can participate in that supports math skills. This universal device enables individuals who cannot hold a writing utensil in their hand, to complete academic skills.
