Writing aid device and method

Writing aid device and method description/claims

This invention relates to writing aid devices, more particularly, a writing aid device having a finger-grasping holder located on either side of a spacer so as to promote proper hand positioning and holding of a writing utensil.

Learning how to hold and use a writing utensil, such as a pencil, pen, crayon, marker, etc., is a lesson taught to individuals at an early age. The hand must be positioned on the writing utensil at an ideal location and the hand must form a proper grip to hold the writing utensil. The key to achieving proper manipulation of a writing utensil lies in achieving a proper grip on the writing utensil so as to promote proper movement of the writing utensil via the fingers, rather than via the wrist. Once a writing utensil holding grip is taught and established in a person, it is very difficult to change the grip. Thus, it is important to learn how to properly grip and hold a writing utensil from a very early age.

Oftentimes, however, individuals use improper utensil holding grips, despite a parent or teacher's best efforts to teach proper writing utensil holding. With the advent and ever-increasing popularity of video games, a large factor in a person's inability to properly hold a writing utensil is lack of hand strength as the person will play video games for an extended amount of time as the palm is positioned in an upward position, also referred to as supination, which is an inherently unnatural position for one's hand, thereby thwarting the development of the hand muscles, especially the adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis brevis muscles, which results in an inability for a person to hold a writing utensil in a proper position.

In addition, disabled individuals may also have difficulty with properly holding a writing utensil due to various reasons, one of which may include lack of hand muscle development.

Thus, a need exists for a writing aid device and method that promotes proper hand positioning and holding of a writing utensil.
