Grotto Pencil Grip

This patented, ergonomic pencil grip was designed and tested by pediatric occupational therapists specializing in handwriting. The Grotto Grip immediately decreases hand fatigue & pencil pressure and, with consistent use, increases writing endurance & pencil control while actually training the hand muscles to hold a writing utensil properly. The grotto grip is ideal for use for children with Autism and other special needs. Grotto Grip®…. Not just a comfort grip, but a powerful training tool: finger guards and special angles place & hold the fingers into a mature tripod grasp by providing constant tactile feedback maintains arches in the palm of the hand facilitating dynamic finger movements facilitates an open web space between thumb and index finger Prevents hyper-mobility at the joints of the index finger and thumb OT recommended firmness for optimal joint stability and muscle action With consistent use, the Grotto Grip® trains the hand to form a proper grasp. Other leading ergonomic pencil grips may feel comfortable but they support the hand at the finger joints encouraging whole arm and hand movements; actually encouraging a static grasp pattern rather than the use of dynamic finger movements. Dynamic finger movements lead to more precision and increased writing speed. The Grotto Grip® actually activates the muscles in the palm of your hand to allow for dynamic finger movements. Grotto Grip® was designed with optimal firmness as recommended by occupational therapists to provide sufficient feedback to the fingers to maintain a proper grasp while writing. Grips that are too soft, lack finger guards or place fingers too far from the pencil point may reinforce improper grasp habits. The Grotto Grips® unique design places the hand and fingers in a position which shifts the support to the palm of the hand and facilitates the user to hold the wrist in an extended position; the proper way to hold a writing utensil.
