The Weighted Pencil Writing Aid Set for Fine Motor Skills helps improve hand and finger grip and provides stabilizing control when using any writing utensil or hand device.
The pencils in the kit have a 1.4-ounce thick vinyl grip and wight rings that help promote proprioceptive and tactile input into the hand and fingers just to give more feedback to the user. By having these accessories on any pencil, the individual would be able to feel the writing device and its movement. The grips and weight rings slide on and off any #2 pencil and some disposable pens, making them versatile, but they also allow the user to learn how to keep a stable grip on a hand device. These can also be lower or higher on a device for a larger surface or higher on the pencil for a more normal grip.
Children and adults who exhibit issues with dyspraxia, sensory integration, and poor motor planning will most likely benefit from the larger, textured gripping surface this device offers alongside the extra weight. Although such a simple device, it will help more than improving just grip and device control. In addition to those, users would be able to strengthen and increase the dexterity of their fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders by using this device. Likewise, they will also their handwriting become more legible with more use.
Each writing aid kit includes 12 pencils, 2 black vinyl grips, 5 wights, and 10 rings.
