The pattern printed on the desk-pad lefty for left-handers shows how to place the notebook/paper and hands in such a way that the child will develop a comfortable and relaxed writing position. Available as a colorful, durable, wipeable plastic desk pad with a non-slip surface. It is a great help to all left-handers not only at school but also in kindergarten. At this early stage it helps and encourages them to adopt a relaxed position when drawing and making their first attempts at writing. The desk pad will fit on any school desk and should also have a place in the left-handed child"s room. It also offers basic support to both converted left-handers who are going back to using their left hand and to patients, who must learn to write with their left hand after losing control of their right hand. Please take into consideration that the inclination angle to the right is ergonomically more favorable but will require some time to get used to. Children that have become used to a different inclination angle for positioning their notebook/paper will sometimes in the beginning react sensitively to this change. Measures 20-3/4-inch length by 15-3/4-inch width.
