Adaptive Equipment

Adaptive equipment is anything that helps someone with a disability to be more independent. These disabilities could be low vision, arthritis or hearing imparied. Adaptive equipment includes “gadgets” such as telephone amplifiers, talking clocks, large-print books, cooking and eating utensils for one-handed use, self-threading needles, or long-handled garden tools. As our elders age and desire to Age In Place, adaptive equipment may help continue their stay at home.
