Grasping and Writing
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Grippers are helpful for children with developmental delays. Grippers serve two purposes. They position the fingers properly around a larger diameter then a regular pencil, and they keep a dropped pen from rolling away. Position them low on the pen/pencil to give the child better control.

Independent Environmental Control: The Grip & Puff Switch Latch and Timer
Independently operating a tape deck, television or radio is easier with a Grip & Puff Switch Latch and Timer. Instead of having to hold the switch on to keep the device activated, one squeeze turns it on and the next squeeze turns it of. You can also set a timer so that after a preset time the child has to squeeze again.
