My grandparents have a stylus for their iPad and that helps a whole lot!

+1 My 93 year old Dad uses a stylus for him iPad Air and it really helps him. He also has a Mac Desktop Pro (for his video editing and 3D animation) and has less trouble with mouse and keyboard.

The a good small device skill is the "soft touch" because then only a small part of your finger is making contact with the touch screen. My Dad seems to have problems doing this.
