Resource description
3D Drawing tools to create personalized pieces, larger or smaller in size or even adapted to a specific application, that meet the sensory and cognitive needs of students.
Sample of use in education with students with IDD
Students are challenged to design, draw and print a part for a robot they are assembling, thus also developing motor skills when fitting the parts and spatial concepts when working on the design of the part
Difficulties to which it could be applied

  • Managing transition and adaption to changes and new situations
Repetitive Behaviors and Restricted Interests, Specialized Skills and Talents
  • Memory and attention to detail
Sensory Processing and Sensitivities
  • Coordination and/or odd movements pattern
Social Communication Challenges
  • Interaction with peers
Learning and Cognitive Challenges
  • Difficulty identifying the correct operation to use
Learning Objetives
