The assistive pencil grip is an adaptive aid designed for people with low grip strength and hand dexterity. The pear shape allows writers to rest their fingers in a natural writing position. Users can choose between two sizes — 7.8mm and 9.8mm — to use with their pen or pencil of their choice.
This assistive device can be 3D printed in TPU or PLA. It was designed by Waterloo Central School District as part of PrintLab's Make:Able Challenge.
