Hard to believe how fast 8 years have come and gone. My little girl is 8 today. And it is the first day of school. Now to print off all the info for the new teacher....always something.
Anyone know of some adaptive items that might be helpful to her in grade 3? Any new challenges she may face this year? She has a LOPBI.

Hi,
How much function does she have? For ideas on adaptive methods.. I can think of a few, but easier if I know her function.

Thanks! We are in Newfoundland actually.
She has damage to c7, c8 and t1 (c8 and T1 were completely avulsed). Basically she has Klumpke's vs. the textbook erb's palsy....she has limited dexterity in her hand/fingers, no triceps really. She usually has her arm tucked in in front of her and bent at the elbow.
