Accessible products and modification

Hand paralysis can make it difficult to pick items up easily. While there are accessible containers out there the selection is limited. By modifying your own items you will have a lot more options. Often adaptations can look "handicapped." In this video I show how to make boxes and other containers accessible while still keeping them attractive. I demonstrate the Crop-A-Dile and show how it can be used to make various items accessible. I also show some items I found along the way that are already accessible.

Hi imbonnie, I learned a lot of wheelchair tips from your videos. My situation is very similar of yours. Thanks for the videos.

@partner19d I'm glad to hear that my videos are of help to you. Thanks for posting.

Like, even though your spine is hosed, you are very adept at strew reduction. Although you showed quite a few container modifications, you didn't really do an effective in-depth demo of the actual container-modification procedure. You go, girl!

COULDN'T FIT COMMENT IN FIRST ONE.

I have a new wheelchair access apartment and its not easy to access which drives me nuts, so I don't do much for myself. If something is like the size good for my hand I don't need a handle, but I drop stuff to often.

I am in a wheelchair and can't pick thing up as will either, I don't usually put handles on most of the stuff because my ability to move is not the same as yours, I have to use large handles on my spoons and stuff like that, and I most of the time I have a care taker who does stuff for me plus I can't control my arm movement so you get what I'm saying, plus I am legally blind and I need assistance moving in wheelchair.
