Special Education Teachers

Special education teachers find EaZyHold a crucial tool for creating an inclusive and interactive learning environment. It enables students with various physical disabilities to participate fully in classroom activities, from writing and drawing to sports activities, ensuring that all students have equal access to educational opportunities. EaZyHold allows teachers to customize activities according to individual needs without singling out students, promoting an atmosphere of inclusivity and respect among peers.

EaZyHold also helps special education teachers enhance their teaching strategies by integrating adaptive tools that encourage independence and skill development. By allowing students to perform tasks independently, teachers can focus more on educational objectives rather than solely on assisting with physical limitations. This not only fosters a sense of accomplishment in students but also improves classroom dynamics by enabling more interactive and engaging lessons.

EaZyHold supports special education teachers in achieving individualized education programs related to motor skills and daily living activities. Teachers report significant improvements in student engagement and self-esteem as children learn to manage tasks independently, which can translate into better academic performance and social interactions. EaZyHold quickly becomes an indispensable part of the toolkit for teachers dedicated to nurturing capable and confident learners.

Special Education Teachers understand the importance of providing low tech, inexpensive, assistive technologies that are accessible and supportive of all of the students, right from the start.

Helping your students to thrive and flourish in the fundamentals of art, music, writing, and play is what an educator does best. Maximizing your own time and productivity becomes even more important when students have individual or special needs that require more one on one time.

No more hand over hand assistance necessary.

One-on-one individual assistance is not always possible for teachers in a classroom with many students. That's when having ready access to adaptable grip aids will enable you to provide help for several children simultaneously while fostering each child's independent spirit.

Your students with special needs can be set on task with one student painting, another writing and still another playing a musical instrument, without your hand-over-hand assistance. Students can progress at their own pace while the educator's reach and scope of work are maximized.

Providing an inclusive learning environment

All learning environments should be inclusive, accessible and supportive of every single child. The concept of inclusion means that children with disabilities have the right to learn in typical classrooms, using the same curriculum, toys, and implements as their peers. The goal is to adapt existing classroom materials so that they can be easily made accessible for all students.

Adapts existing classroom implements
Allows students to work at own pace
Colorful for visual stimulation
Can be used and reused by multiple students
Easily wiped clean or dishwashable
More independent play and engagement

A common refrain of teachers is "Too many students and not enough help!" When one on one assistance for each individual student is not always possible, our assortment of silicone straps allows you to supervise several children independently. One can be painting, another drawing, and still another playing a musical instrument without individual hand-over-hand assistance. EazyHold will allow students to progress at their own pace, and maximize the educator's valuable time in the classroom.

Play Engagement Behavior

Children grow and learn through play. Assistive Technology devices such as toy adapting cuffs serve a vital role in providing successful play opportunities for children with disabilities.

On the Playground

Movement through play drives learning in children. EazyHold provides that pathway for exploration. Children grow and learn through play. Assistive Technology devices that adapt toys and sports equipment serve a vital role in providing successful play opportunities for children with disabilities. The EazyHold universal cuff allows children to control and actively explore their worlds by reducing and/or removing barriers to play and leveling the playing field for children with special needs. Use our soft silicone cuffs on baseball bats, cheerleader pom-poms, golf clubs, hockey sticks, bicycle pedals/handles, squash and tennis racquets, archery, rowing, cricket, badminton, table tennis and more.

IDEA and The Role of Assistive Technology in Special Education

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires schools to provide children with disabilities the services and accommodations for each child’s unique needs, including Assistive Tech. Despite the name, these devices are not always high-tech. Low-tech devices such as EazyHold can improve function in children with both learning and physical disabilities, with a very little learning curve. Often the simplest things can make a huge difference to the student with individual needs.
