The Writing C.L.A.W stands for Controlled Letters of Adolescent/Adult Writing. This amazing pencil grip is great for ages two through adult and will create a true tripod grip quickly. The process of learning the technique of holding a writing instrument correctly can vary from 1-3 years (without the C.L.A.W).The C.L.A.W allows the user to concentrate on what they are writing, and the technical strokes of letters and numbers, instead of focusing on holding the writing instrument correctly.
