The Pencil Grip, Crossover and Jumbo

Grippers are training tools that help position the fingers correctly on the pencil. There are a variety of styles of grippers.

THE PENCIL GRIP helps place the fingers in the correct position and supports the index finger.

The Pencil Grip, Crossover Grip and the Jumbo Grip, were designed by an educational therapist. The grippers have indentations for each of the three fingers to rest in, helping to keep the fingers from slipping out of the correct position while learning the tripod grasp. CROSSOVER GRIP has an additional “hood” to prevent the thumb from crossing over the top of the pencil and index finger.

The unique thing about these grippers is they offer support to the index finger. Prior to the creation of The Pencil Grip, therapists sometimes gave children a pencil with a small gripper and a wadded paper towel taped above the gripper to give support to the index finger and open up the hand a bit. These grippers provide the support that the therapists were wanting.JUMBO GRIP supports the index finger up to the second knuckle.
