Common questions
- What makes reading easier for low vision or weak hands?
- An e-reader lets you enlarge the text and is light to hold; a book or tablet holder frees the hands and reduces neck strain; and good, glare-free light improves contrast. Use them together as needed.
- What helps with writing or crafts when hands cramp?
- Weighted, chunky-grip pens reduce the effort and cramping of writing, and built-up grips can be added to crochet hooks, brushes, and other tools.
