Learning Style:
Tactile Skill Development: Sensory
- Great for students who are hypersensitive to textures; they can participate in tactile play using tweezers to hold and move objects. Jumbo Tweezers are ideal for special needs children, who might not be open to making physical contact with objects.
- They allow kids to use tactile sensations to explore their world, and can be used in fun learning games, like counting, sorting and grouping activities.
Fine Motor –
- Helps develop the pincer grasp and fine motor skills needed for daily living (buttoning, zipping, holding a toothbrush, and picking up finger foods).
- While students concentrate on using these tweezers, they are unaware of the inner circuitry going on. By working on grasping, picking up, and releasing with the tweezers, they are developing eye-hand coordination (visual motor integration).
- As this skill advances, students become more proficient with tasks like handwriting, drawing, and forming numbers.
