PLAY Tip
Grasping and Writing
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.
