Default Could a gyro help elderly student?

I've been working with a wonderful elderly student with earning his wings. His trouble is a lack of feeling in his fingers. We got him set up with a buddy box with expo and this helped a bunch with the flying once in the air. The take-off roll needs some help to get straight. He uses too much rudder or not enough on take-off. Also, he could use a bit of help with keeping wings level in a bit of cross-wind. Could a gyro help in these situations? If yes, what would you recommend for aircraft use? Thanks for looking.
