Hi Joanna,?
I don¡¯t have a specific solution for this, but I wonder if The Lucky Fin Project could be a good resource for you. I¡¯m wondering if an adaptive device that someone with a limb difference and/or poor grip utilized for a barbell (also requiring quick release) could be assessed.?
I¡¯m assuming you¡¯ve consulted with OT and the students parents regarding any devices they may use at home. I can¡¯t help but think they¡¯ve problem solved for activities like biking and other sports.?
Looking forward to hearing what others have to say and best of luck to you!

Good morning,
?
I have a cane-using 4th 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!
