Some students have difficulty holding and controlling a pencil due to physical limitations. Art teachers should provide alternative tools and techniques for these students to allow them to fully participate. Options include thicker pencils, pen grips, adaptive scissors, and techniques like stamping, rubbing, and painting that don't require precise pencil control. Making small accommodations helps ensure all students can express themselves creatively.
