Parkinson’s Disease: How to set up IPhone for easier use due to tremors. Hi, My mom has had Parkinson’s disease for awhile and with her advancing age and increase in tremors she is having a hard time using her IPhone. When I go into settings and accessibility I see a number of choices that may help make her tremors not as much of an issue when answering a phone call. I’m wondering if anyone has experience setting up an IPhone for easier use and if so what settings specifically did you change? Under accessibility there are a number of changes that can be made but many of them have no explanation of what toggling on or off will accomplish. I’m also wondering if anyone has watched a video explanation of the accessibility settings and what each of them do? Thanks for your help!

Parkinson’s disease makes it so difficult to use touchscreen iPad and iPhone Hi, im trying to help my mom with her iPhone and iPad. She unfortunately has Parkinson’s disease and has severe hand tremors. Imagine trying to use an iPad or an iPhone with a really shaky hand. Does anyone know if there is an app or a setting in iOS that can help make the touchscreen less sensitive to a shaky hand? Has anyone else encountered this? My mom loves the devices because they make her feel connected, but it’s so frustrating for her to use bc of the very sensitive touch screens. Thanks for your advice!
