What’s in the Kit
- Adaptations Bag: Eco-friendly, made from recycled materials, with a double-zippered expansion gusset (7”L x 10.5”H x 3.5”W).
- Slant Board: Enhances visibility for individuals with visual impairments and provides elbow support for those with limited shoulder strength.
- Wrist Weight: Provides added support to help steady movements and reduce the impact of involuntary motions associated with high muscle tone, tremors, or spasticity.
- Anti-Slip Mat: Prevents devices like tablets or communication tools from sliding while in use.
- Bungee Cords & Elastic Bands: Add adjustable resistance for smoother and more controlled movements caused by tremors or spastic movements.
- Custom-Cut Pool Noodles: Place longer pieces to promote elbow extension or limit range of motion. Use smaller pieces to prevent elbow dropping, add resistance for horizontal movements, and position the hand neutrally.
- Roll of Tape: Secures pool noodles to the device for a customized setup.
- Binder Clip: Holds paper or activities securely on the board.
- Industrial Suction Cups: Anchor the device firmly to the table for users with tremors or spastic movements.
- Scrunchie Strap: Provides extra security for the wrist, forearm, or hand, ensuring the hand stays on the handpiece—ideal for users with spastic movements, tremors, or very low tone.
