During seated tasks of writing, painting, etc..

1. Use a 3 ring binder or slant board as a writing surface to promote proper wrist extension to a more functional position.

2. Use smaller writing utensils (small pieces of chalk, golf pencils, etc) to force a more desirable tripod pencil grasp.

3. Make sure paper position follows the slant of the forearm being used for writing, and is placed at the midline of the work surface.
