What is a functional pencil grasp?
A functional pencil grasp means the grasp that allows us to write efficiently and effectively, and it does not necessarily have to be a tripod grasp. Here are some examples of functional pencil grasps. However, if the type of grasp becomes the cause of illegibility, fatigue, low endurance, slow, joint strain etc., this is when we need to address and provide further support.
