We tried the minijoystick, finger joy stick and finally, just the regular joystick but we fitted it with a foam ball. I read in your past blog that you tried the tennis ball; maybe the foam ball will be easier for Sky to use because it's softer and easier to push. It's called the Infogrip roller joystick soft foam ($40). Anyway, we continually do adjustments such as raising or lowering the wheelchair armrest or the joystick itself to suit Jojo's needs. He sometimes gets "tired" and can hardly drive the chair. I think your Sky has more strength in his arms than my Jojo, so he should be fine driving his chair once you figure out the right positioning for him. Whew! Long comment, huh?

Actually the one we have is pretty easy to adjust so your is likely the same way.Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719754876592849914noreply@blogger.com
