Helpful Tools for Motor Movement Disabilities

  

My tremors that are caused by my Cerebral Palsy affect my daily life in numerous ways. This gives me an opportunity to make my life easier by coming up or finding new ways to help myself grow. For example, I find myself having some difficulty buttoning up my shirts. The buttons are small and hard to navigate through the holes on the other side. One of the tools that I use is the Button Hook Tool. Putting on dress shirts has become so much easier thanks to this. I also use an automatic can opener. It’s a lot easier than using a mechanical can opener.

These two tools help me perform normal daily tasks both quickly and efficiently. Are there any tools that you use yourself for assistance daily? What tools do you think are helpful to someone with, for example, fine motor movements with their hands?

End of the Year Update (Covid-19)

 

Here we are, reaching the end of the year already. This year has gone by at an exceptionally low pace since almost the beginning. For myself, staying indoors has been easy enough but it has been stressful. Although, next year I do have a few opportunities to look forward to. One of them being the co-op position at an accounting company and the other is starting back in school to continue my studies. With this, I will be able to find a career to gain more stability in my life.

Another event that has happened was the completion of the Business Management program. I have received honor’s status as well which I am immensely proud of myself for! It has been a while since I have had some major accomplishments, so I am extremely excited, to say the least.

I am ready to see what this new year brings to the table and hopeful that it will be a better one. It has almost been a year since the lockdown had started. One good thing came out of this though. I was able to find more time for my studies and to work on my personal life. This has led me to discover new information and paths that I could take to achieve the life that I have always wanted. This gives me another reason to feel good about the near future to come.

Writing has always been a way that I could easily express myself. This is one of the many reasons that I learned when starting up my blog over ten years ago. I have also met a large community of similar bloggers with their own amazing blogs that they write for! If you have one or know of another that you would like to share please add it to the comments below so others (including myself) can find them. Thank you for an amazing year and I hope to see you all in the next!
