Good morning,

?

I have a cane-using 4^th grade student with brachydactyly (see picture below; used with parent permission). She uses a silicone strap which allows her to hold her cane steady to do diagonal cane technique, but it doesn’t give her enough stability to sustain movement to do constant contact or touch and drag. Can anyone think of a way to adapt her cane or to form a grip that would give her enough stability for movement, but also allow for quick release if needed?

?

Thanks in advance!
