I am so pleased the Parkinson's community has your expertise! My father passed away from complications of Parkinson's. However I have Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA); a similar but distinctly different neorological disorder with similar but distinctly different neorological symptoms. When I look through your videos I have to adapt your exercises for SCA and pull fromultiple videos. Could you please do a video or series of videos for home OT for the Spinocerebellar Ataxia community.
