From writing and drawing to eating, grooming, playing, and completing daily routines, the right grip or holder can make tools feel more secure and manageable.
Gripping Aids for Everyday Activities
Gripping aids are designed to reduce the effort needed to hold common items such as pens, pencils, crayons, utensils, toothbrushes, paintbrushes, and more. Many options provide a wider or softer surface to hold, which may help improve comfort and reduce hand fatigue during longer activities.
Explore adaptive hand grips and holders for:
• Pens, pencils, crayons, and markers
• Adaptive writing tools and handwriting supports
• Forks, spoons, and other adaptive eating utensils
• Toothbrushes, grooming tools, and personal care items
• Art supplies, classroom materials, and therapy tools
• Daily living aids used at home, school, work, or therapy
Pencil Grips and Adaptive Writing Aids
Pencil grips and adaptive writing aids can support a more comfortable grasp when writing, coloring, drawing, or completing schoolwork. These fine motor tools are useful for children learning handwriting skills as well as adults who need more control, a larger grip surface, or reduced strain while using a pen or pencil.
Choose from ergonomic pencil grips, weighted writing supports, wide pencil holders, and adaptable grips that fit standard pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. These tools may help make handwriting activities more accessible in classrooms, therapy sessions, and at home.
Universal Cuffs, Built Up Handles, and Hand Holders
For users who have difficulty maintaining a secure grasp, universal cuffs and hand holders can help keep a utensil, writing tool, grooming item, or activity tool positioned in the hand. Built up handles create a larger surface that may be easier to hold for people with weak grip strength, limited finger movement, arthritis, cerebral palsy, developmental disabilities, or other hand function challenges.
These adaptive aids are commonly used to support self feeding, personal care, school participation, art activities, occupational therapy goals, and independent daily living skills.

Our adaptive grips and holders are selected for use across homes, classrooms, therapy clinics, rehabilitation programs, residential care settings, and community programs.
