Good afternoon,

I recently met with someone who is finding it increasingly difficult to use his video game controller.  At present the disease has affected his arm and hand on one side.  Specifically, he's losing the ability to use his thumb to move the joystick.

Does anyone have any short- and/or long-term suggestions?  I've heard that there are adaptive gaming controls.  Do you know of any specific, helpful resources?

Thank you kindly,
Rabecca
