[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm in my late 40s and always had left handed scissors.  Every classroom I remember had one or two of the green handled scissors for us lefties.  
I can certainly use regular scissors now as an adult, but when I could find left handed scissors as a kid it made my life sooooo much easier.
I can't imagine why you'd force a kid who is already struggling to use a tool that isn't designed for her.[/b][/quote]

This.

Get the scissors for her now.  She can take them to school to use when needing to cut something if school doesn't supply them.  When she is an adult she will have learned to manage her many sensory issues, but now, when she's struggling with so much, why keep the one tool that might make her life easier from her?

You get a booster seat for little kids, right?  When they are tall enough they sit in a chair without one, right?  So left handed scissors are like that for her now.

And, for another poster:  a child who is struggling with sensory and other issues shouldn't also have to learn to cut right handed.  She has enough on her plate.  [/quote]
