كيف يمكنني استخدامه؟

Attach a tool (marker, pencil, etc.) to the mouth stick. The student will control the elongated tool with their mouth. Before using a mouth stick, communicate with the student’s team, as this might be something they are working on with an Occupational Therapist and could be used in your arts residency.
