Education Service District...that is the our servicing district for

special services, ECE, severe program, life skills, hearing testing,

etc. It's how the state has it set up, but then Oregon does alot of

things differently, but yes , we got the paper through either OT

services or autism services.

That's what I thought. We have an " ESC " Educational service center

that is actually it's own school district for the MH kids. They don't

provide any supplies outside of school though. : / 's teacher

used her limited budget to buy the paper. (Have I said recently that

this woman is fantastic!? Wonderful teacher and very open to learning

new techniques and pushing the kids to their full potential. )

One thing that might be cheaper than buying that paper is to make something

similar. Get one of those writing tablets like they have at dollar stores, the

ones with lines like this

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

then put a thin string of glue along the solid lines. This, hopefully, would

keep the letters between the lines. Might not work for school stuff, but maybe

to practice on. Good luck.

Tina,

This sounds very cool! I've never heard of it and has a horrible time

with all aspects of writing, from forming the letters, spacing, sizing,

direction the letter should go, etc.

If you find a cheaper way, let me know?

What an excellent idea! I'm going to have to try this. Maybe with coloring

sheets, too!

That's a good idea. I was thinking about using some of the fabric

paint I have but it's a little thick. Glue could be kept thinner like

the paper. I'll have to look at the craft store and see if I can find

some glue with color to it.

The benefit of the fabric paint would be the color to make the lines more

visible, but you may also be able to find cheap acryilic paints like that at

the dollar stores, too.

They sell colored glue in the stores now, stationary aisle. Crayola.

Very cool.

Crayola.

It stains horribly if you get it on clothes.

Fun to work with. Stains are NOT cool. NOTHING gets them out.
