Hi everyone! If you write a certain way of writing either with or without an adaptive device or have tips for doing so, please consider making a video to teach others!
We do have a few writing videos on SPINALpedia.com like this one: http://spinalpedia.com/videodetails.php?vid=102383 but it always helps to have more people's perspectives so that it's easier for someone to find a method that works for them.
