Sarah, a kindergartner with low muscle tone and poor fine motor skills, has difficulty with even simple skills, such as taking the lids off the markers and replacing them. Which of the following assistive technologies can help her succeed at this task?
  1. Communication board
  2. Switch box
  3. Adapted keyboard
  4. Plaster marker box
Explanation
Answer: D-A simple homemade plaster box may help Sarah use the markers independently. Many teachers make these simple boxes by pouring plaster into a shallow tray. When the plaster begins to thicken, insert the marker lids so they sit with at least ¼ inch of the lid still visible. Allow the plaster to dry. A child like Sarah can easily pull the markers out of the lids and return them.
