Pencil Grips and Other Adaptations to Improve Handwriting and Pencil Grasp

We'll explore the reasons to use a pencil grip for improving your grasp on a pen or pencil and for improving your handwriting. If you have impaired motor planning, fine motor coordination, weak hand muscles, or poor proprioception that affects your handwriting, then a modified writing utensil may be helpful for you.  In this video, we'll go over modifications for pencils or pens, to include use of pencil grips. Edit to video:  I meant to say ace wrap towards the end of the video (when I wrapped the ring and pinky fingers) instead of coban but coban can work also.
