Occupational Therapy: Developing a Pincer Grasp
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Developing a pincer grasp is hard work! Make practice more fun by hooking the Adjustable Pressure Pinch Switch up to a fun switch adapted toy. By starting with the lowest pressure setting and then adjusting it upwards, a strong pincer grasp will be developed - and it will be fun too!

Cortical Visual Impairment and Rikki The Rooster
Ricki the Rooster is one of the most popular switch adapted toys. His bright colours make him easier for a child with a cortical visual impairment to see. To help even more try putting Rikki down on a dark carpet, towel, or tablecloth. The contrast makes his colours really pop out!
