The Flip and Communicate Wrist Wrap is a great way for someone who is nonverbal to communicate when on the go. This wrap consists of a soft, comfortable, stretchy, terry wristband with clear page pockets attached that can hold slip pictures or words into clear pockets. The wrap is 5” wide and is best used with someone who has issues communicating when in the community and a full communication board is not practical. This can be used with a child who is non verbal on a playground, or an adult who is on the go and does not want the extra bulk of a large communication device. I like this device because it is light weight, easy to use, and practical for almost any situation, this device can be bought at http://www.augresources.com/Flip-and-Communicate-Wrist-Wrap-p/032631.htm for $29.87

The 6' ft Aluminum Multifold Wheelchair Scooter Mobility Ramp portable 72" (MF6) is a useful device for those in a wheelchair scooter who need assistance traveling to different surfaces in a wheelchair. This device is awesome because It can easily be folded up and used at many different places within the community. The Titan 6' multi-fold ramp can be used for porches, curbs, landings, steps, or into mini vans, as well as the back of pickup trucks. The device can hold up to 600 lbs and has a slip resistant grip surface. I like this device because it can help individuals in wheelchairs safely transfer and be able to get to all the different places they want to get to. The device can be purchased at https://jet.com/product/detail/0964356dcdd04b5d9250c4bc2626e962?jcmp=pla:ggl:NJ_dur_Gen_Health__Beauty_a1:Health__Beauty_Medical_Supplies__Equipment_Daily_Living_Aids_a1:na:PLA_786070200_37816623541_pla-293457860545:na:na:na:2&code=PLA15&gclid=Cj0KEQjwn_3GBRDc8rCnup-1x8wBEiQAdw3OAUbJjC2lKOTNCTlQUjWr2SyC7djccmR_YlvZH4f9kHEaAn6_8P8HAQ for $177 not including tax.

The Better Living Products Ulti-Mate Bath Accessories can be purchased at http://www.target.com/p/better-living-products-ulti-mate-bath-accessories/-/A-16813001?lnk=rec|pdpipadexsrch|related_prods_vv|pdpipadexsrch|16813001|0 for $38.24 not including tax. This product is very useful because it has a dispenser set up for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (this can be changed based on needs of individual) I like this product because it can easily be mounted by the tub to make bathing much easier for anyone, especially someone struggling with range of motion, coordination, sequencing, and even endurance. The device requires some set up (putting the different liquids in the proper containers, setting up the object on the wall near the bath tub etc.) but, this could make bathing independently for individuals struggling with finding and manipulating objects in bath tub possible.

The Magic Touch Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard is a piece of technology that can soon be available through walmart.com! This mobile projection keyboard uses lasers to project the keyboard onto most flat surfaces. The keyboard is a full sized QWERTY keyboard that connects to devices through bluetooth. This device will be compatible for smartphones, tablets, video games, iPhones and much more. I think this device would be especially useful for individuals with low accuracy when typing who struggle to type on a small iPhone screen.
