Lara,
They really have been great for my fine motor skills. My hands aren't as steady as before but I'm working at it.
The jewelry making is good for so many brain different brain functions. It helped get me from not being able to do basic math to nearly doing it without reminders on how.
Plus just basic thinking. I credit my neuropsychologist for pushing me to get a hobby. It made my brain have to work. It's important for us to keep going.
Life is therapy.
