ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for assisting the disabled to handwrite. The apparatus comprises a stabilizing weight member. The stabilizing weight member is attached to the hand by a glove or other means. The weight member has angled finger grip protrusions for forming slots for the fingers of the hand to rest in and to hold and conrol the movement of the weight member. The weight member has a roller ball socket in its underside in which is rotatably mounted a roller ball. The weight member also has a writing instrument holder which holds the writing instrument so that it will write on a writing surface when the roller ball is against that surface. The hand moves the weight member by rolling the roller ball against the writing surface so that the writing instrument writes.
