I like the fact that these weights work on both pencils and pens. They are easy to use and make it possible for me to write with my tremors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids with Sensory Integration Dysfunction

I bought these for my daughter who was having some fine motor issues that were showing up in her handwriting. She was holding her pencil incorrectly, gripping it too hard, breaking the pencil tip frequently, and bending her wrist and arm in a strange way to get more sensory input while writing. In one summer, we were able to help her to feel the pencil more strongly in her hand, correct the tight grips, and end the odd writing angle.We had her use the weights at home and for the last few weeks of school. At first, her handwriting worsened because the pencil was so much heavier. But she quickly improved to her previous level and then over time improved to age appropriate handwriting. Now she doesn't even need to use them anymore and has passed them on to another "Sensory" kid in her classroom.The O-Rings hold the pencil weight in place. The weights feel like a ceramic or stone material. Each one has a different weight, so you can alter the difficulty by using different weights. You can also move the weight up and down the length of the pencil to make it more difficult or easier to use.These are the same weights as seen in "Sensory" catalogs for about double the price.

Grandson is autistic and these were recommended by the Occupational Therapist. It does help him with his writing so he doesn't have to push on the pencil so hard. They are a little expensive but work. Hopefully he will not lose them.

These pencil weights were recommended by my daughter's OT to help her with her handwriting. She struggles with her fine motor skills and her handwriting is very illegible. After using this pencil weight, her writing is much more solid and easier to read. She enjoys using them, even at school. They have really helped give her confidence in her writing ability. Her teacher has also complimented her on her progress.

We love these! They were recommended by my daughters OT specialist and we use them all the time. They are metal so they are not particularly "quiet" when put down - however - if that is really that much of a concern - teach your kiddo to put it down a bit more gentle. These serve a great purpose and have really helped in the ways of my daughters writing.

Some kids in my class have a hard time putting enough pressure on the paper when they write or their pencil seems to just wiggle all around and away from them. These were good quality and although some kids were resistant to them at first, they grew accustomed to it and I saw improvement in their handwriting. These should be used with the recommendation of an occupational therapist or other handwriting/fine motor professional because not all kids with handwriting issues would benefit from them.
