Ink Pen for Child with Motor Difficulties

[LIZS]

ds (9) has just officially graduated to be able to use an ink pen at school. He has difficulty grading movements in his hands, exerting the appropriate pressure with a pencil, as well as maintaining a comfortable grip. Can anyone recommend a suitable first ink pen please - need to buy tomorrow as a reward ! tia

Oh we had one - it was a parker one maybe? comes in blue and pink and left and right handed versions.

bottoms, can't remember the name...

stabilo move easy it's called!

And well done to ds

excellent , thank you

Thanks for the tip, I shall get one for my ds, who's handwriting is just starting to improve (not allowed one at school yet though)
You may be interested to know that my son (7) started karate 6 months ago, and his movements and coordination have increased dramatically. His handwriting is much better, and he is now able to hit a cricket ball with a bat. I am amazed...

Hope it's OK to post a contribution (first-time poster!) but there is also another particular type of pen available, a ballpoint as opposed to a rollerball. It's called a Yoropen (www.yoropen.com). The shape is a bit strange when you first see it, as the 'nib/point' part is sort of raised above the main part, IYKWIM. In W.H.Smith the other day I also saw mini Yoropen pencils designed for the smaller hand. Might be worth a look. I haven't tried them but they are on the 'worth trying' list together with the Stabilo one.
May be helpful to some of you?
