Grip-Smart: Therapeutic and Educational Benefits

Grip-Smart (A Product of HandyScribe)

Grip-Smart's  unique cam-shaped design was originally developed to provide a comfortable and secure grip for scribing for contractors, tile installers, cabinet installer, welders, etc. Through feedback from customers, educators, therapists, and families, we have learned that its design may also be helpful for individuals who find traditional pencils difficult to hold.

For Young Learners

The larger cam-shape may help young children who are developing handwriting and drawing skills by:

• Encouraging a comfortable pencil grasp
• Supporting pencil control during writing activities
• Reducing discomfort associated with holding a standard pencil
• Promoting engagement in writing and drawing tasks
• Supporting the development of fine motor skills

Many children find the unique design easier and more comfortable to hold than a traditional pencil.
