http://theinspiredtreehouse.com/motor-skills-and-more-working-on-a-vertical-surface/

I have noticed that David has very weak fine-motor skills, in fact, he generally has very little control over controlled movements. He has very poor pencil control and pencil pressure when working and tends to scribble all over work. After searching for more information on how to improve this, I found this amazing research. I have been using this within the class to help develop his and other`s skills. I have been encouraging large whiteboard work. However, this has been easy as whiteboard markers require very little effort to work. I have recently started adding a vertical paper surface with crayons in the class shop ( a favorite place that is isolated and safe.)

I have noticed that David`s large and fine-motor skills are improving, so I will continue working on developing these.
