Quite awhile back, our dear Max started a thread about some of the best adaptive equipment and gadgets. Since technology has changed in the last 18 months or so, I thought it might be a good idea to revive the thread. We have several gadgets that have really made our lives easier and they include:
What do you find is most helpful??
- a bidet--simply terrific
- a toilet elevator --it is a base that fits on the base of the toilet and raises it 4 inches. It's perfect because it gives my hubby (PALS) the extra height to make it easier to transfer but doesn't interfere with the bidet
- an amazon ECHO that allows verbal control of all kinds of things!
- a video baby monitor!!!! A godsend that allows me to be in a different room and still see him, talk to him and hear any noises he makes. It also has an app that I have on the iphone so that I can check in. Especially useful when he was able to be alone for a bit.
- a wireless doorbell that he can ring when he is done in the bathroom or needs one of our girls who are in a different room.
- a handle that fits in the car door latch that helps with transfers
