Evo-Pen A truly unique shape in writing implements. Recommended by the Arthritis foundation and Mary Benbow MS, OTR (hand development specialist). The Evo-pen follows the contour of the fingers and eliminates some of the difficulties associated with standard shaped writing implements. Its thin size also assists in promoting a more dynamic grasp. Try it with school age children and writing-phobics, as well as the physically involved. Great for adults too (try it at report writing time!)
