summerreading Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 A VT group I follow on facebook posted about using a slant board and shared this article: http://www.thevisiontherapycenter.com/discovering-vision-therapy/bid/83804/Why-Your-Child-Should-Use-a-Slant-Board-for-Writing It keeps work at a 22 degree angle which is supposed to be better. passing along in case, like me, you hadn't heard of this before. I see my son's VT doc uses this with him, so looking around for one Has anyone made their own, seems easy enough. I do like this one: http://www.visualedgesb.com/products/slant-boards.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Mouse Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 A quick way to make a slant board (and what OTs at my district used to do) is to take a large binder and Velcro a clipboard to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Our VT and OT both suggest the flipped binder. We've used both the flipped binder and a slant desk. If you can spring for a slant desk, I do recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
