Butter Pencil Grip 2 Pack
The Butter Grip is specially designed to promote proper finger positioning during writing tasks. The round serves as a tactile cue for the fingers to grasp around. The Butter Grip opens up the web space, provides support to the finger muscles, and can help decrease hyper-extension. It can be used with standard pencils, most crayons, and most pens. At a diameter of 1 inch, this grip is recommended for children and young adults. For those who need extra input to the hand, putting the second grip on the opposite end of the pencil will add more weight for added hand awareness and may help the pencil "fall into" the web space where it should rest.

Megan Ahlers, Colleen Hannigan Zillich, Ph.D. Pratt, Cathy Classroom & Communication Skills Program
Practical Strategies for Educating Young Children with Autism Spectrum and Other Developmental Disabilities in the Public School Setting. Educators looking for effective ways to help young children who are non- or limited-verbal and not table-ready will find this the solution to their search. The CCSP considers a combination of factors for verbal language in the development of programs for individual children, including verbal language, cognition, auditory function, oral-motor skills, receptive language and expressive language. The model emphasizes the importance of creating a fluid transition between a child's natural environments, such as home and school, in order to increase the chances of generalizing skills. While not specific to a particular disability, the program is a very helpful resource for educators working with children on the spectrum who have language deficits.
