Pencil Grip

The Pencil Grip
This ergonomic shape is recommended by many OT's for people suffering from writer's cramp, arthritis, etc., and for children who persist with the various claw-like grip habits developed during early experimentation. If the pupil shows thumb-tucking or thumb-wrapping this device can help. The soft plastic shape supports the first knuckle of the pointer, promotes a good thumb position (particularly for a right-hander) and encourages the use of large muscles instead of "finger-writing."
