| Specific purposes |
The product allows learners to draw straight lines neatly. The product allows learners to plot graphs efficiently. In this way, it removes the stress associated with making diagrams. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics | Learners can draw a straight line neatly without needing to use a ruler. Freed from the need of holding down a ruler, they can draw the line one-handed. The line will stay straight even with unsteady or unintended hand motion. |
| Expected effects and results | Eases the stress associated with drawing straight lines and streamlines the plotting process. |
| How to use | The pad has a grooved surface. The learner runs the pen or pencil along the grooves, which requires the learner to control the amount of pressure. Additionally, because the learner will use the reference lines under the tracing paper, he/she must understand how to view the lines. |
