Chapter 6 – Assistive Technology for Recreation … A CONTINUUM OF CONSIDERATIONS FOR ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Nonslip materials to hold things in place Universal cuff/strap to hold items in hand Color coded items for easier locating and identifying Adaptive eating devices (e.g., foam handles, deep sides) Adaptive drinking devices (e.g., cup with cut out rim) Adaptive dressing equipment (e.g., button hook, elastic shoe laces) Adaptive devices for hygiene (e.g., adapted toothbrush, raised toilet seat) Adaptive bathing devices Adaptive equipment for cooking Adaptive driving equipment Assessing Students’ Needs for Assistive Technology (2004) 166
Chapter 6 – Assistive Technology for Recreation … Assistive Technology For Activities of Daily Living (ADL) The ADLs on this continuum are all low technology items designed to increase the independence in selfcare for the school-aged child. The continuum is not a true continuum in that it is set up in categories rather than low tech to high tech. The higher tech items are in the continuum of Control of the Environment, Electronic Aids to Daily Living (EADL’s). This does not include items used by a caregiver or classroom aide such as patient lifts. The goal of these products are to increase independence in self-care and should be incorporated as they occur naturally in activities such as feeding, dressing, and toileting. Occupational Therapists are trained in the area of adaptive technologies for self-care and should be consulted for further questions. Here are some resources to get you started. ABLEDATA is a database of over 19,000 assistive technology devices including thousands of ADLs. http://www.abledata.com ATSTAR is a website for Assistive Technology Strategies, Tools, Accommodations, and Resources http://www.atstar.org/at_daily_living.htm Sammons Preston Rolyan is a catalogue for rehab specialist that includes ADL equipment. http://www.sammonspreston.com/ Tech Connections is a website for connecting people with assistive technology http://www.techconnections.org/resources/pubsLev3.cfm?category=3&subcat=1405 Assistive Technology Products: An Illustrated Guide to Terminology (Kratz, 1998) Another area of assistance worth considering when looking at options for adaptive equipment and assistive technology in self-care is canine-assisted therapy. According to The Delta Society, Assistance Dogs of the West and Assistance Dogs International, dogs are available for several categories of assistance: ♦ Guide dogs: Enhance community mobility by hearing people compensate for visual impairments by alerting them to obstacles and retrieving items. ♦ Hearing dogs: respond and alert the person to sounds, such as doorbells, phones, crying infants, smoke detectors and alarm clocks. ♦ Medical alert dogs: Protect people by detecting and alerting them to physiological changes (seizure activity) or by locating help during medical emergencies. ♦ Service dogs: Assist people with compromised physical abilities by retrieving objects, aiding with transfers, opening doors, operating lights or door-opening devices, pulling a wheelchair, assisting with undressing, and similar tasks.
