Low-Tech Writing Tools

There must be something said for low tech tools. A simple and inexpensive pencil or pen grip can make the world of difference to the child with dysgraphia. So too might a paper window, raised line graph paper, highlighter or slant board. These tools are tried and true. No batteries, software download, gigabytes of ram or thousands of dollars in funding necessary. This site, http://www.nsnet.org/atc/tools/writingtoolbox.html lists several low tech writing tools that will likely never be outdated. While I'm all for technology, I'm more for technology that works and that can serve a purpose. Children with special needs demand tools and applications that will enhance their present conditions and circumstances not complicate them further.
