Car arm rest

An additional car door arm rest for a client who was unable to drive long distances.

Changing mat guard rail

The client is a very active child who has learnt how to roll off their changing mat very quickly when their carer is distracted. A folding rail was added to provide restraint, while also allowing changing activities to be performed normally.

Seahorse chair arm support

The client has severe curvature of the spine and needed lateral support when seated in his Seahorse toiletting chair. A special arm rest was made to replace the exisiting one.

Crochet and Knitting Helper

A couple of devices which allow a lady to resume enjoying her hobbies of crochet and knitting despite her suffering tremors and the effects of a stroke.

Head Support

Use of a modified travel cushion to give good head support

Removable padding for bed-leaver

Mr G lives in 24 hour supported living. He needed padding on his bed-leaver for safety in case he had a fit and thrashed about at night; the padding needed to be easily removable by his carers for when he needed to use the lever for getting in and out of bed.

Nappy changing frame

First time mum found it difficult to change a dirty nappy with limited use of her right hand. Her wriggly baby was forever putting his foot in the wrong place!

Play Guard

A client with severe learning disabilities loves to roll on the floor of her shared lounge. Unfortunately it is unsafe for her and other residents, and staff haven’t the time to supervise her. Staff asked us to create a safe area for her to do this.

Changing Unit

The child was too large for the existing changing unit, but the available space was very limited, and a larger unit would not fit in the available space. Extending the existing unit was the only option.

Special School Bed Modifications

A Special School in Birmingham had three very large ‘beds’ where children with learning difficulties could be placed in safe environments with sound or visual stimulation. However the canvas side panels intended to stop the children from falling off were insecure and incomplete. Secure canvas side panels, fitted to all four sides of each ‘bed’ were needed.
