Abstract

A hand support device and method for somatosensory input to the palm comprises a support portion and an attachment portion. The support portion forms a rounded surface that supports a hand of a user. The attachment portion attaches to a structure. The device activates purposeful motor movement with accurate motor control for users with Dyspraxia when employed in conjunction with evidence-based developmental pedagogy in high stimulating tasks such as music education per the Rancer Method (Kupferstein & Walsh, 2015). In one example, the hand support device attaches to a piano and clamps to the keyslip allowing the user to rest their hand while playing the piano. In another example, the hand support device is adapted to attach to a surface of a laptop or desk with a base surface that is disposed above the laptop, allowing the user to rest their hand while typing on the keyboard.
