Have You Tried These Back-to-School Tools?

With back-to-school season in full swing, the team at Dysgraphia Life has rounded up some creative tools to make learning more accessible—and a little less stressful—for students with dysgraphia or other learning challenges.

I’m curious: Have you tried any of these yet? What’s worked well (or not so well) for your student or classroom?

What’s on the List?

Dysgraphia Life highlights several tools that are easy to use, student-friendly, and in some cases downright ingenious:
