Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Everyday tasks can be challenging when items slip, slide, or require two steady hands. This Heavy-Duty Grip Mat provides the stability needed to enhance safety and promote independence throughout the home. It is an essential piece of low cost assistive technology for individuals with tremors, limited hand strength, arthritis, or one-handed use, making it an excellent support for NDIS participants.
This versatile non-slip mat is designed to make daily life easier and safer by:
Increasing Kitchen Safety & Independence: Place under mixing bowls, cutting boards, or plates to keep them firmly in place during food preparation and mealtimes. This is especially helpful for one-handed use or for individuals with limited strength or coordination.
Providing Stability for Dining & Activities: Use on lap trays, over-bed tables, or wheelchair trays to prevent plates, cups, phones, or tablets from sliding. This reduces spills and frustration, allowing for more enjoyable and independent activities.
Assisting with Fine Motor & Therapeutic Tasks: Create a stable work surface for activities like writing, drawing, puzzles, or therapy exercises. It holds paper and other items steady, allowing the user to focus on the task at hand.
Reducing Slips & Enhancing Grip: The durable material can be used on chair seats or under wheelchair cushions to reduce sliding, providing greater stability and comfort.
Superior Non-Slip Surface: Made from a high-quality polymer environmental resin, this mat offers a powerful grip that holds items securely without the need for clamps or extra hands.
Large, Versatile Size (61cm x 122cm): The generous size (approx. 24" x 48") can be easily cut with standard scissors to fit any drawer, shelf, tray, or specific workspace, providing customized support wherever you need it.
Heavy-Duty & Long-Lasting Material: The durable, UV-resistant material won't tear or degrade easily, ensuring reliable performance for daily use, both indoors and out.
Hygienic & Easy to Clean: To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let air dry. This makes it perfect for use in kitchens and dining areas.
This multi-purpose grip mat is a highly practical example of low cost assistive technology that directly supports NDIS goals related to independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and increasing community participation.
