Tools for more easily threading leaders into small flies

I have a small tremor in my hands (benign essential tremor) and I am having a harder time rigging flies now in my 60's. I am seeing ads for small devices (e.g. Fly Roost 2.0) to aid in threading the leader into small hooks. They look great to me but I'd like to hear what works for you before buying anything.

Transitioning out of the education system. Advice for finding adult group homes in California

My daughter is 18. She has a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder that presents as autism, epilepsy, and developmental disability. She is currently in a residential school setting for autistic teenagers. She is non-verbal, and her biggest challenge is responding to stress or task avoidance with physical aggression.

She is in a great situation now. I wish we could stay forever. Her school home has 7x24 behavioral support and she has bonded well with her caregivers. She will age out of this placement at age 22. She is out of state now and I would like her next home to be closer to home inside California.

I am working with the regional center but, taking from my experience with the ed system, I expect I will personally have to drive the process for the next placement to get the right outcome for her. I was thinking for looking at all group homes within a 50 mile radius to get started but I am not sure that is the right approach. I'd love to hear what worked for your family.
