    12” Time Timer

    In addition to providing calming visual stimuli, these timers can help during transition times as they provide the ability to judge how much time is left without having to know how to tell time.

    Great for those who have trouble moving away from a preferred activity or for helping to build up time on a task.

    Sloped Writing Board

    An angled writing board can reduce the need for neck and trunk flexion during tabletop activities e.g. writing or reading. This may help where a child has restricted upper body movement and strength (reduces need for reach, promotes functional hand positions for fine motor tasks) or a visual impairment. It promotes a more upright trunk position, good hand position for drawing activities and may reduce eye strain for visual scanning activities.
