ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for training the motor movement of a person to make writing more easily learned. The apparatus includes a frame having a pair of horizontal bars. A large, bright colored ball is disposed on one bar and a smaller, bright colored ball is disposed on the other bar. The frame includes means for supporting a looped bar and an undulating bar. Each bar may be disposed in two vertical planes and one horizontal plane. A ball is provided on each of the looped and undulating bars. Each of the balls includes a finger hole and a smaller writing implement-receiving hole therein. The bars, with their associated ball thereon, are disposed in a predetermined sequence of orientations so that the balls thereon can be moved in a predetermined sequence wherein the balls are first moved along horizontal straight bars, then along the undulating bar and finally along the looped bar. The movement of the balls along each of the bars is accomplished in a four step sequence, the first step movement being effected by the user's hand, the second step movement being effected by the user's finger in the finger hole, the third step movement being effected by the use of a relatively large peg inserted in the finger hole and the fourth step movement being effected by a writing implement disposed in the writing implement-receiving hole.
