does anyone have tips for reading books post stroke in terms of holding it with your affected hand, I'm wanting thread but holding the book is a struggle and I prefer books to screens any tips would be appreciated
Hi Kate, Readying is such a wonderful past-time that lets you escape into another world or learn more about the one we are in. I'm sure you will get some great suggestions from the group but here are some products you may not be aware of: Book Holders & Page Turners | NED (askned.com.au) Our team member Gail, also prefers books to digital but has discovered a love for her Kindle Paper white which is light to hold and carry and allows for the font size to be changed to suit her.
Hope you continue to be able to do what you love with these and more suggestions from the group :)
thanks that’s really helpful link

sorry to hear that Garry
Hi Kate, have you tried Audio Books? You can buy them and also get them from a local library. Given my short term memory issues, when reading a book, I tend to forget what I read on a few previous pages. When listening I tend to remember more. Also, I have issues with my eye sight, so Audio Books worked for me.
thanks Michael, I haven't but I should try them, thanks for the suggestion
