As many occupational therapists, parents, and teachers have discovered, the Writing CLAW (Controlling Letters of Adolescent/Adult Writing) is a miracle grip that works like magic to promote proper grip, good handwriting, and increased fine motor function. It eliminates thumb-wrapping and fist-grip to create a true tripod grip in just 60 seconds. Since the CLAW can stretch and slip over a variety of implements, it is also be used to help hold crayons, markers, chalk, eating utensils, and other hand-manipulated objects. It fits both left- and right-handed users.

Please note size specifications: SMALL fits children from about 2 years old through kindergarten, MEDIUM fits kids in kindergarten through 6th grade (most older girls and women stay at this size), and LARGE fits kids in 7th grade through adulthood.

"I am a pediatric occupational therapist. I have been working with children of all different delays and disabilities for the past 7 years. During that time, I have tried every trick in the book and even some of my own to get children to use a tripod grasp when writing and coloring. These tricks have included a variety of different pencil grips. Unfortunately, my tricks resulted in very little progress for the children. During a trip to St. Louis for the American Occupational Therapy Association conference, I was introduced to the Writing Claw. I have to admit, when I first saw the Writing Claw I was skeptical at best. However, I decided to bring it back home and give it a try. To say that I was amazed at the results is a huge understatement. The kids love to 'put the hats on their fingers' as I like to say when we are using the Writing Claw. I also love the Writing Claw. It is easy for the kids to put on, it works easily with pencils, pens, and crayons, and it is quickly changed between writing implements (this is especially nice when coloring with crayons). My enthusiasm for the Writing Claw has spread to parents and teachers who are also amazed at the results from the Writing Claw. Not only are the children holding their pencils and crayons correctly, but the quality of their writing and coloring has significantly improved. I would recommend the Writing Claw for all. Go ahead and give it a try—what can it hurt?"

"The C.L.A.W.'s are fabulous. My daughter's OT found them at a OT event in St Louis (I think). He used it with her and it made an unbelieveable difference. She's 3. I purchased the pack and kept a few, but gave the rest to her special ed teacher. She was very excited about the prospect of using them with the kids in her class."
