Case Study: Temecula Valley Unified School District achieves removal of handwriting barriers and enables special‑needs students to complete assignments alongside peers with pdfFiller

Helping Students Overcome Challenges and Achieve High Results with PDFfiller

Lindsey Scheffel, an occupational therapist at Temecula Valley Unified School District, supports special‑needs middle school students who often understand material but are hindered by handwriting. To let these students participate in the same classroom assignments as their peers without handwriting holding them back, Scheffel searched for a PDF editing and fillable‑form solution and chose PDFfiller.

Using PDFfiller, Scheffel scans documents, adds fillable fields (including required fields and drop‑down menus), preserves original formatting, and distributes assignments that work on Chromebooks and home devices. PDFfiller is now used daily by Scheffel and other teachers, enabling students to complete work alongside classmates, take assignments home, and making collection and grading faster—effectively removing the handwriting barrier to learning.
