Easy Off the Shelf ” Adaptive Equipment “

Have you found a product that you can use with little or no adjustments for your special needs child? Please share with us!

Here are some ideas for some “Adaptive Equipment” .

Use glue stick instead of liquid glue

Keep two sets of school books- one at home and one at school so they don’t have to lug back and forth.
Use a mechanical pencil ( one that clicks like a pen) – its easy to use and writing will be neater.

Travel mugs as cups -easy to to carry around

Large numbered watches with “expandable” wrist band.

Remove buttons from clothing and use velcro.
