The Grip - All
Transforms a small handle into a large one instantly.
People who have reduced use of their fingers will find it advantageous in gripping utensils, tools and items such as a toothbrushes. Handles from 1/2" (13 mm) to 1" (25 mm) fit into the gripping coil. A split plastic tube is supplied to increase the size of handles smaller than 1/2". The durable plastic tube is made in two pieces, connected by a toothed rim on each half which controls the gripping action, as one half is turned and the other held. Two independently adjustable hand clasps enclose the hand so that grasping the tube is not necessary. Overall length is 7 1/2" (19 cm); diameter is 1 1/3" (34 mm). Dishwasher safe.

PLAY Tip
Teaching switch use to new switch-users!
Teach a new switch user about cause-and-effect by starting with an attractive switch that gives fun feedback itself. Switches that vibrate or play music are reinforcing all by themselves. Good examples are the Musical Bright Plate Switch and the Vibrating Mirror Plate Switch. Once the child understands that their action causes the effect, then you could attach a toy, Mini Fan, AM/FM Radio, Vibrating Pillow, or Tape Player to the switch. The child will soon learn that their touch has a real impact on the world around them!
