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.

Claim (Index 1):
A grip aid writing system, comprising:\n a writing instrument with a writing tip located at a distal end, a cap located at a proximal end, and a shaft located therebetween, wherein the shaft defines an outer surface; a grip aid device with an outer surface, an inner surface, a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the inner surface of the grip aid device is mounted with respect to the outer surface of the shaft of the writing instrument; and at least three pressure-based buttons mounted with respect to the outer surface of the grip aid device, wherein simultaneous engagement with the pressure-based buttons causes a first responsive action.
