Fraction Box
I have found that my young students with spacial/visual disorders have trouble with placement when it comes to fractions. The fraction bar gets confused with many other lines on the page. So I started using what I call a "Fraction box" to make it easier for them to understand that the part goes in the top box and the total goes in the bottom box.
It's not a great stretch of the imagination, but the simple addition the the fraction bar really helps them visualize how the fraction should look.
