How to make a slant board

A slant board provides a slanted writing surface, which can better position a student's wrist for writing. Placing writing paper on a slant board can also make it easier for the student to copy information from the board.

The price of a slant board can vary from $40-$100 in a therapy catalog, so I often make my own.

I have a student who was hooking his wrist like this (yikes!):

I made a slant board to improve the position of his wrist and now he writes like this:

     Much better!

To make your own, here's what you'll need:
 

• two old binders
• clipboard
• Velcro
• duct tape

1. Use the duct tape to tape the two binders together.

2. Attach Velcro to the back of the clipboard.

3. Attach the clipboard to the binders

vertically,













or horizontally.
