Check out our blog on the topic), and chin tuck against resistance (CTAR).

Dining Tools for People with Parkinson’s
This handout is designed for speech-language pathologists working with people who want to compensate for Parkinson's symptoms while dining. Features 16 pictures and labels of products currently available on the market to compensate for tremor and weak grip.
-
10 Voice Commands for Voice-Activated Products
This handout is designed for rehabilitation therapists working with people who no longer have the mobility or fine motor control to operate phones, computers, lights, blinds, etc. Using voice activated systems (such as the Amazon Echo or the Google Home), these patients can use voice commands to increase independence, reduce reliance on caregivers, and optimize their quality of life. This handout provides 10 voice commands to serve as a starting point for incorporating this type of technical compensatory strategy into your rehabilitation program.

Parkinson's Disease and the Sense of Time
This handout explains how Parkinson’s disease can disrupt the individual’s sense of time and this can impact accuracy with medication management and nutrition.
