Those crossover pencil grips are awesome. Similarly, for those needing help joining in activities outside the classroom there are many aids available, including these favorite gloves which may help compensate for a weak grip for sports like waterskiing (link- http://www.h2oproshop.com/masterline-pro-lock-curves-waterski-gloves.html) YMMV

The classroom is just one place where kids may need accommodation as gifted kids and 2e kids have to live with their reality 24/7. Hopefully by seeing others help them gain accommodations, this role modeling helps them seamlessly advocate for themselves in everyday life as they grow toward independence.
