If you're looking for a simple, effective tool to support better handwriting—whether for children learning to write or adults recovering from injury or illness—the LegiLiner is an adaptive handwriting tool you should know about. This OT-approved stamp offers a quick way to create guided lines on any piece of paper, making it easier to improve spacing, alignment, and overall legibility.
What Is a LegiLiner Stamp?
A LegiLiner is a self-inking stamp designed to create lined writing guides instantly. It comes in various formats—from single lines to handwriting paper spacing—and is small enough to toss into a pencil bag or therapy kit. With just one press, it transforms a blank sheet into a structured writing space.
These tools are widely used by occupational therapists in school-based and clinic settings to help users who struggle with letter placement, uneven writing, or visual-motor integration.
How Does the LegiLiner Help with Handwriting?
The LegiLiner supports handwriting by giving users visual boundaries and tactile prompts to guide their writing. This is especially beneficial for those working on:
-
Letter spacing and alignment
-
Consistent sizing of lowercase and uppercase letters
-
Fine motor control and pen pressure
For example, with young children, a LegiLiner can help them practice proper formation and spacing as they learn to write their names or simple sentences. For adults—such as stroke survivors—it provides structure for relearning how to write with greater precision.
Who Should Use the LegiLiner?
This spacing tool for kids and adults is highly versatile. It can be used in:
-
Pediatric OT sessions for children learning to write
-
School classrooms to support IEP accommodations
-
Adult rehab programs focused on stroke recovery writing tools
-
At-home practice for individuals with handwriting goals
It’s ideal for:
-
Children with dysgraphia or developmental delays
-
Adults with neurological conditions such as stroke, TBI, or Parkinson’s
-
Anyone who needs a quick way to create consistent writing guides
How to Use the LegiLiner
Using the LegiLiner is as easy as using a regular stamp:
-
Choose the stamp size that matches your client’s writing needs.
-
Roll or press the stamp onto a blank page.
-
Have your client practice letters, words, or full sentences within the stamped lines.
Bonus: You can apply it to envelopes, sticky notes, or worksheets—anywhere you want to reinforce handwriting support.
