After trying multiple pens and grips, what worked best was a custom mold contouring to the web space of my hand and palm. Had a customized writing aid made by an occupational therapy prof and I to increase my writing endurance. She taught me how to work with thermoplastic beads and it has been working wonders!
I'm nearing the end of my occupational therapy masters degree and I think my calling is in physical medicine!

Rehab therapists can go beyond the traditional hospital/community position!
Oakley, F., Caswell, S., & Parks, R. (2008). Occupational therapists' role on U.S. army and U.S. public health service commissioned corps disaster mental health response teams. The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 62(3), 361-4.
Here are some snippets:
"Occupational therapists, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, speech–language pathologists, and audiologists are commissioned in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and make up the therapist category..."
"Since September 2004, occupational therapists have regularly deployed as members of disaster mental health teams, typically serving for 2 weeks at time."
"occupational therapists can serve not only as essential members of disaster mental health teams but also as effective team leaders."

Coolest picture of shrimplets -- featuring the shrimplet pie with a sprinkle of fiery red! Check out the relative size of the shrimp versus substrate.
Fire red cherry shrimplets latching onto a Bicom shrimp food pellet during feeding time at ShrimpFever's new store location. Lots of shrimps getting berried this summer~

Do not talk about an obviously disabled person in front of them as if they can’t hear or understand you.
Do not talk to a disabled person’s companion instead of them.
