Folding Slant Board for Writing - Small (14"W x 12"H)

Clips broke after using at school for less than one month

There's not really anything positive to say about theses slant boards. I bought two for my 8 year old sons with visual impairments. These boards are made of corrugated plastic, velcro, and plastic clips. First impression was that the corrugated plastic seems strong and the velcro also has a very strong hold. However, it seems cheaply made. We have used them two days and already the velcro, which is attached to the board with adhesive backing, is sliding down the board, causing the angle to change. I was able to remove the velcro and place it back in the correct spot, but don't see the adhesive holding up for long. Also, the clips don't hold the paper in place, nor would I let my boys open and close them for fear of breaking them. We tried them for a few days, but returned them.

An occupational therapist recommended that we get a slant board for our daughter. This one works well for her and seems to help with her posture when she is writing. We bought one of each size. This smaller one we got for her to take to school. She says it fits well on desks in most classrooms. It works well and is mostly well made and sturdy. The slant is a good angle. The clips at top hold paper steady. For copybooks and workbooks, it stays mostly still while resting book on it. The one nagative thing I can say is that the two rubber feet come off easily. They don't stick well at all. However, I don't think they are really necessary, as the slant board doesn't move around without them. When we bought the second one I deliberately took them off so they wouldn't fall off as a safety hazard for our dog. Update (12/16/2021): After 3 weeks of use in school, carrying it from classroom to classroom, one of the plastic clips that hold paper steady broke off. The other clip still works. Without clip the board still works. Just need to hold paper steady yourself with the other hand.

We got this for my son at the recommendation of his occupational therapist. He said he prefers to write on this than on a flat desk. What more can I say? It is light weight and won’t last forever but if he needs to continue using one I can get a higher quality one going forward now that I know the concept will work for him. It works for us.

The plastic has already started to wear and whiten after just a few days of use. The velcro is super strong, which is good, but my students need assistance to fold/unfold it. The velcro is also very loud, which is disturbing to a lot of my sensory-sensitive students.

I bought this board ahead of time before the school year started in order for my special needs daughter to have a slant board to use at home, while her svhool.started with virtual learning before their planned transition to in-person learning. I wish that we had tried to use it right after we received it but we were waiting for the school year to start so I unfortunately missed the return window :( The plastic itself is layered like corrugated plastic & might have stood up to long use. However the clips to hold papers & the clips with Velcro to position the board did not have strong holding power. They started popping off within the first week of using this slant board. The pieces with Velcro attached wouldnstay stuck together & unattached from the board. I ended up buying a completely different slant board on AZ on that was all 1 plastic black piece (no folding) with a metal clip that is very furmly attached & have notnhad any problems with it in over a year's time. I have been meaning to write this review for awhile but my daughter is medically fragile & has a lot going on regularly then other things pop up for her so this review got pushed back multiple times. Amazon won't let me upload a picture because I didn't take it in the last month, it isn't new enough in my phone's gallery :/

My little nephew loves it and it’s help him with his therapy.

I bought this for my son- broke within a month of using it. Disappointed, because it helped but will no longer hold paper. Don’t waste your money- the clips at the top are cheap plastic!
