Dressing
The Snappy-Dresser Personal Assistant was invented by a Pennsylvania woman with a congenital birth defect to help her regain independence in her morning dressing routine. With a small hook at one end, and attachable shoe horn and the ability to lengthen, the Snappy-Dresser is perfect for socks and shoes. The Snappy-Dresser is steel constructed with a 1” diameter telescopic twist locking device that expands from 16.5” to 30” for easy handling. It also has interchangeable snap-on attachments that assist with a variety of tasks.
Around the House
No one likes cleaning the house. When you have a disability, even the simplest cleaning chores can seem like insurmountable tasks. Thanks to the miracles of modern science, however, some cleaning can be done in an instant with little to no effort.
Use Kaboom’s "Never Scrub Toilet Cleaning System". It offers a powerful cleaning with each flush. The system cleans, disinfects and prevents hard water stains for up to five months.
To save time and effort cleaning the shower, try the "Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner". After each shower, just touch a button and let the Scrubbing Bubbles go to work. The powerful jets spray 360 degrees to clean the shower and tub.
When it comes to cooking, the Crock Pot can be your best friend. Almost anything, from spaghetti to meatloaf to amazing desserts, can be made in the slow cooker. You can also buy frozen skillet meals. Simply empty the contests into a skillet, follow the directions and you'll have a homemade meal in no time.
The Hobby Shop
The Receive-All is a simple device that was invented by two friends after one sustained an SCI. The Receive-All consists of an arm brace and an adapter. Simply attach the object that you want to use - paint brush, fishing pole, garden spade, etc. - to the adapter and attach the adapter to the arm brace. The arm brace is secured to your hand and forearm, giving you complete control of the item you want to use.
If you enjoy cross stitch but find it difficult to hold the frame and stitch at the same time, visit the EZ Stitch website. Here you can find lap stands or floor stands to accommodate your needs. A lap stand has a wooden base that will simply slide under your leg and stay securely in place until you move it. A floor stand will sit on the floor so that your wheelchair can fit right under it.
Whatever your needs, there is a product out there that will suit you and make your days easier.
