Abstract

A grip aid device for improving writing skills utilizes specific ergonomic and feedback mechanisms to promote an advantageous writing instrument grip and improve intrinsic hand musculature. The grip aid device includes strategically positioned pressure-based buttons, wherein each button interacts with a user's specific finger. The grip aid device features an incentive-based program that encourages the user to properly align their fingers to an approved grasp pattern, wherein simultaneously pressing the buttons causes the writing implement to emerge and become useable.
