Tools & Tips

---

This comprehensive document presents a variety of adaptive aids, some durable medical equipment, and functional modification tips to address a diverse set of needs that I commonly see when providing care. Where possible, I have listed some how-to insights on making your own. 

I do hope to build this page out more in the future. Check back now and again to see what's new.

The lists, pictures, and descriptions in this document do NOT constitute an endorsement of or prescription for any of the items or methods therein. You are expected to use this as a informational guide to do your own research and decision-making process. I strongly encourage you to try something before you buy it when possible.  

Insurance plans and the basic health services plan will cover some items, but not all. For example, they're more likely to cover a walker than a sock aid or an inspection mirror. Check with your health plan to learn more about what they will and won't cover for you and what requirements they need if they are willing to cover the expense. For example, they may need a prescription from your doctor, a letter of recommendation from a therapist who has assessed you, and/or a quote for the cost of the item from a vendor.
