This week I had the opportunity to present at the Courage to Risk Conference in Colorado Springs and attend some wonderful sessions. At lunch I wandered the exhibit hall and found the little item in the photo. I had to ask what it was for, but once it was explained to me, it made so much sense! It is called a CLAW. The student slides a pencil through the center hole, and then places thumb and two fingers into the rubber tips. This positions the hand (right or left) for the perfect pencil grip! What a clever tool! I have a student in mind already who might benefit from using this.
I found this tool at a booth run by the Autism Community Store, located in Denver and on the web. The store is a parent-owned autism and special needs resource, a special little shop helping families, teachers and therapists get hard-to-find products for kids. The CLAW sells for $1.79 and comes in two sizes
