I don't know if you came up with the idea for the HandiWriter® but if
you did, I thank you and compliment you on your great thinking. My
son is a lefty and he has had trouble with his pencil grip since
preschool. I tried every possible pencil grip I could find but
nothing really helped him. His OT at All Children's Specialty Care
in Tampa gave him a HandiWriter®. He loves it and it is really
helping him. He wears it on his wrist all day long and I have had
to wash it several times!
Sincerely,

"I am so happy to see your website and
learn about your products! A teacher of autistically-impaired children
showed me the HandiWriter® that the mother of one of our students
obtained for her daughter. I thought it was a very unique and
functional writing apparatus. I am going to order some for the schools
in which I provide OT services. Thank you so much!"

“The HandiWriter® has helped a girl who
has struggled with holding a pencil for the last three years. We
tried all the original pencil grippers but none of those worked.
Truly, she holds the pencil right every time now.”

“My daughter is 7 years old and in the
1st grade. She started with an OT teacher in the Public
School System in February 2004 along with Huntington Learning Center.
The OT teacher, and Huntington, have been working on her hand writing
skills. In late March/April her hand writing was improving by leaps
and bounds. Huntington was having to adjust her work because of the
improvement. I found out from the OT that the newest tool that our
daughter had been using was the HandiWriter®™, and this is why her
handwriting had improved so much. School has now been out for 4 ½
months, and we just meet with Huntington for a monthly review.
Huntington asked us what has happened to our daughters handwriting?
It has gotten very bad again. I told Huntington that we lost the
‘magic tool’ she got from her OT, but we were going to order a case of
the ‘magic’. Huntington asked what the magic tool was, and I said it
was the HandiWriter®™. I asked if they would mind if our daughter used
the magic tool while she was at Huntington and he said ‘no, we welcome
new things that work for any child’s needs.
I am giving Huntington Learning Center
the website and a pack of your HandiWriter®s. Maybe Huntington
Learning Center can try the HandiWriter®™ with some of the other kids
that may need a little ‘magic’.
Thank you for using your special gifts
that God gave you to create such a wonderful tool and share with those
who need them.”

“I thought I
would write to you to let you know what a difference the HandiWriter®™
has made with my daughter, who is 8 years old. She no longer has to
do her work on the computer as we had first been told by her
Therapist. She doesn’t stand out any more as the only one in the
class who has to use a computer. She is printing great! We bought
the HandiWriter®™ at her childresn therapy center. I recommend getting
a HandiWriter®™ for home and school. She really thinks it is cool, and
so do her friends!”
Thank you,

“Just a quick note back. I would not mind at all if you used my email
in your testimonials. If it can help other children as well as my
daughter, I would be thrilled. Nadine.”
“Your
HandiWriter®s work miracles!!!!!!!”

"Our O/T found
a wonderful product that is helping Kaitlin tremendously with her
writing skills. It is called the HandiWriter®. It is so simply made
it is ironic, but whoever thought of it, well, kudos' to them!!! What
it does for writing is astonishing. It makes them hold the perfect
pencil position and perfect finger position. The same with the hand
and wrist, which in turn makes for better penmanship. If you remember
she had that upstroke thing going on and this prohibits that all
together. Eventually she won't need it at all. I just found a
website for it but recommend you to have a teacher or O/T check it out
for your child first, to make sure that it is right for them. They
also have arm weights and hand weights that look extraordinary for
those who need muscle training, etc. I highly recommend the
HandiWriter®!!!!!"
