I've never used any tools for writing or eating.   Bobbie

 I've always used a splint called the Wanchik Writer. It holds a pen in your 
 hand in more of a natural position. It just slips on the side of your hand 
 and you put your finger in a loop at the end. If you need more wrist support 
 they have one called version 2. And the best thing about it is I tape a spoon 
 or fork on it and I use it to eat with. I was never able to feed myself with 
 the regular Velcro universal cuff or spoons or forks that have the loops that 
 slip on your hand. I cannot lift my arm up that high with my elbow out. With 
 this split I can keep my elbow down.
 You can see what they look like here.

  Hi All,
  What dose everybody use to write with? How do you place it in your
  hand? I've used a felt tip pen cradled in my curled-up hand and
  using my shoulder and moving my entire arm. I used a felt tipped
  pen for 35 years until I discovered a Pilot Razor Point pen that I
  LOVE! My handwriting has gotten pretty darn good,

My handwriting has gotten pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. I LOVE to 
write long letter's pen to paper.
