Life with a disability is not easy. Chores are more difficult and time-consuming. Hobbies are often more frustrating than fun. Even getting dressed in the mornings can seem like work. These products can help ease the burden of some daily activities.
Dressing
After becoming frustrated with the lack of durable personal assistance devices, a Pennsylvania woman with a congenital birth defect invented the Snappy-Dresser Personal Assistant to help her regain independence in her morning dressing routine. With a small hook at one end, an attachable shoehorn and the ability to lengthen and lock in place, the Snappy-Dresser is perfect for socks and shoes. It also has interchangeable snap-on attachments that assist with a variety of other tasks.
There are a couple of products on the market to help women with those stubborn bra straps that keep falling down. The Strap Perfect is a small plastic disk that pulls the straps together to keep them secured on the shoulders, plus adds a slight lift. The Braza Happy Strap does the same job as the Strap Perfect without the added lift. It is a simple elastic strap that wraps around the straps and holds them loosely in place.
On the Road
Tired of constantly searching for your disabled parking permit in your car? Locating the tag, hanging it on your mirror when you park and removing it when you leave several times a day can get tedious. To rid yourself of this chore, get yourself a VisorTag. Simply slide the VisorTag onto your visor. Fold it down when you park so that it is visible through the windshield and simply fold it up when you leave.
Around the House
No one likes cleaning the house but 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.
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.
