Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Regain confidence and simplify your daily routine with the Daily Living Essentials Kit. This thoughtfully curated 5-piece bundle brings together our most popular items of low cost assistive technology, specifically chosen to address common challenges and promote greater independence. It's the perfect starter set for individuals with limited mobility, arthritis, or reduced hand strength, and an excellent value package for NDIS participants.
Each tool in this kit is designed to make a specific daily task safer, easier, and more manageable, helping to conserve energy and reduce physical strain.
This 5-piece assistive tool set provides comprehensive support for key areas of daily life:
1. Easy-Grip Jar & Bottle Opener: This adaptive tool provides the leverage needed to open stubborn jars and bottles with minimal effort, reducing strain on weak or arthritic hands and making kitchen tasks more accessible.
2. Large Monthly Pill Organizer: Manage medications effectively with this 28-day organizer. Extra-large compartments and removable weekly trays make planning simple, providing clear visual reminders to support medication adherence and health management.
3. Button Hook with Zipper Pull: A vital dressing aid for those with limited dexterity. The wide, comfortable grip and snag-free wire loop make buttoning shirts and coats an independent task again, while the integrated zipper pull assists with jackets and trousers.
4. Long Handle Lotion Applicator & Back Brush (44cm): This versatile tool allows for independent self-care. The extra-long handle eliminates the need to bend or strain, making it easy to apply lotions and creams or wash your back in the shower.
5. Assistive Cut-to-Size Grip Mat (61x122cm): This non-slip mat is a multi-purpose powerhouse. Use it in the kitchen to stop bowls from sliding, on a tray to secure a meal, or as a stable base for fine motor activities and therapy exercises.
This bundle is more than just a collection of tools; it's a comprehensive solution for enhancing self-sufficiency. It empowers users by:
Promoting Independence Across Multiple Routines: From getting dressed and managing medications to preparing food and personal hygiene, this kit supports autonomy in all aspects of daily living.
Increasing Safety at Home: By providing stable grips, secure surfaces, and reducing physical strain, these tools help to create a safer home environment and lower the risk of accidents.
Building Confidence and Well-being: Successfully managing daily tasks independently boosts self-esteem and reduces the frustration associated with physical limitations.
This Daily Living Essentials Kit is a perfect example of how multiple pieces of low cost assistive technology can work together to meet a participant's goals for independence. As a bundle, it represents excellent value for money and provides a holistic approach to supporting Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
