Writing Aids

People with Parkinson's may find these writing aids and writing tips helpful. Using large print, rather than script writing, is often easier for people with Parkinson. Weighted pens or pencils may help stabilize a shaky hand. For additional grip, wrap black electrical tape, or use foam handles around the barrel of the pen or pencil. Other suggestions are to use magic markers and large tablet on an easel. If you have difficulty using writing utensils, try typing notes or letters on a computer or typewriter.
