Pacon Raised Line Paper | NDIS Tactile Handwriting Aid

Transform handwriting frustration into achievable success with Pacon Multi-Sensory Raised Ruled Paper. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this specialized stationery is designed to support NDIS participants living with Dysgraphia, Autism (ASD), ADHD, or fine motor challenges who struggle with spatial awareness and letter formation.

Standard paper offers no physical boundaries, often leading to drifting writing and frustration. This innovative tool features raised headlines and baselines that provide immediate tactile feedback. When the writer's pencil hits the line, they feel a physical "bump," reinforcing where to stop. Combined with high-contrast color cues, this dual-sensory approach (sight and touch) acts as scaffolding for the brain, helping to map out space and improve motor control without the need for constant verbal correction.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Proprioceptive Feedback: The raised lines provide physical resistance to the pencil, helping participants with low muscle tone or poor proprioception "feel" the boundaries of the writing space.

• Visual-Spatial Organization: High-contrast blue headlines and red baselines clearly define the writing area, reducing visual confusion for participants with tracking difficulties or visual processing disorders.

• Fine Motor Skill Acquisition: Supports the development of precise hand movements and pencil control, which are foundational skills for independent written communication.

• Reducing Task Anxiety: By providing a structured, sensory-responsive medium, it lowers the cognitive load required to write, reducing frustration and avoidance behaviors associated with homework or therapy practice.

Key Features & Benefits

• Tactile Guidelines: The embossed lines offer a physical guide that helps cue the hand to stop, significantly improving letter sizing and alignment.

• Visual Structure: Features a clear 5/8" or 7/8" ruling (depending on style) with dotted midlines to assist with upper and lower case differentiation.

• Skip Space Design: Includes spacing between writing lines to prevent visual clutter, making it easier for the user to read back their own work and self-correct.

• Curriculum Compatible: Conforms to standard D'Nealian and Zaner-Bloser handwriting styles, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with school or occupational therapy programs.

• Two Functional Styles: Available in a standard writing format (100 sheets) or a "Story" format (500 sheets) that includes space for drawing, catering to different learning stages and goals.
