Dicem Works

Title: Dicem Works

Source: Self

Behavior Objective: When the student wraps Dicem on his leg and then places his brace over the Dicem, the Dicem will hold the brace in place 9 out of 10 times.

Targeted age/population: K-12 students with a disability requiring them to wear a brace.

Content Area: Daily Living Skills

Describe Strategy/Idea:
When students who have a physical disability, which requires them to wear some type of brace the brace may be the wrong size or it may slip if the student sweats. By using a piece of Dicem under the brace, the student should not experience the slipping of the brace.

Procedure for Use:
Dicem can be cut to size to fit around the students arm, leg, etc. The Dicem should then be placed directly on the student’s skin and the brace applied over the top. The grip of the Dicem is enough to hold the brace in place so a constant adjustment is not needed.

(If relevant) Describe how you make it: Cut out different sized pieces of Dicem and apply to area of body where needed.
