Abstract
A therapeutic educational tracing device consisting of a transparent panel having an eraseable surface, a transparency bearing indicia removably disposed to underlie the panel, a rearwardly disposed mirror angled to reflect the indicia and thus enable a child tracing the indicia to perceive his hand and the indicia in the mirror and perceptually guide his hand in tracing the indicia by a mental process.
