Introducing the SenseAbilities New Writing Slope Slant Board – Designed with Care, Made in Melbourne
We are thrilled to present the SenseAbilities Writing Slope Slant Board, a thoughtfully designed tool developed in collaboration with our Occupational Therapist and manufactured locally in Melbourne, Australia, by a trusted small business. This innovative slant board is ideal for students, teachers, therapists, and anyone seeking ergonomic support for handwriting or creative tasks.
Features of the Writing Slope Slant Board
- Customizable Angles: Choose between a 12° or 18° angle with interchangeable legs, allowing you to tailor the level of support to individual needs.
- Generous Surface Area: The board provides a usable surface of 380 mm x 300 mm, with an overall size of 397 mm.
- Portable and Compact: Removable legs make the board flat for easy storage, and it comes in a durable zippered pouch to keep all parts secure and organized.
- Optional Clear Overlay: Enhance functionality with a 2 mm clear acrylic overlay (provided in the Deluxe kit or also sold separately), perfect for tracing, protecting written materials, or creating reusable worksheets.
- White Acrylic Surface: Unlike traditional clear boards, the white surface can be used as a whiteboard with dry-erase markers for extra versatility.
Why Use a Slant Board?
Writing on a flat surface often forces individuals to slouch, leading to poor posture and additional strain on the body. Using a slant board brings the writing surface closer, promoting an upright posture and improved ergonomics. This is particularly beneficial for:
- Shoulder and Core Stability: Helps those with reduced muscle tone or core strength achieve better fine motor control and conserve energy during handwriting tasks.
- Hand and Finger Positioning: Supports optimal wrist extension and an open thumb/index web space, critical for developing mature pencil grasps and fine motor precision.
- Visual Tracking and Focus: Brings written materials closer to the eyes, aiding visual processing and reducing strain, especially during reading and instructional tasks.
What Makes Our Slant Board Unique?
- Adjustable Angles for Growth: As a child’s skills improve, you can reduce the angle to gradually increase independence and confidence.
- Flat Storage Design: Perfect for busy classrooms, therapy settings, or homes where space is at a premium.
- White Surface for Versatility: Use it as a whiteboard or pair it with the clear acrylic overlay for tracing activities or reusable checklists.
- Creative Possibilities: Write multi-step instructions directly on the board and protect them with the overlay. Use it for schedules, task lists, or tracing pre-writing shapes, saving paper and supporting sustainability.
Available Versions
- Standard Version: Includes the white acrylic board and two legs.
- Deluxe Version: Includes the white acrylic board, two legs, the clear overlay, a set of multicolored whiteboard markers, and a whiteboard eraser.
