Devising a means of allowing blind/VI parents to help develop their children's handwriting
Blind/VI parents with sighted children often struggle to assist them with certain areas of their education where vision is of crucial importance. The device focuses on handwriting, allowing children to progress in their ability whilst providing parents a level of involvement which would otherwise have been inaccessible.
