Slip On Dressing Aid
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Versatile dressing aid that helps remove shoes and socks
With the Slip-On Dressing Aid, wheelchair users and those with back limitations or arthritis can put on socks, stockings, slacks, shorts, pajama bottoms, panties and undershorts without additional assistance. A notch in the lower end helps in the removal of shoes and socks. It consists of a pair of gently curved plastic rods which rock against each other, along a section of intermeshing teeth molded into their inner surfaces. Each 19" (46 cm) long rod has a pad of hook-and-loop closure at one end to hold onto an article of clothing. Squeezing the other ends of the rods together will spread open the clothing for entry of the foot or leg. For one or two-handed use.

PLAY Tip
Nonverbal Children Make Choices and Communicate Them!
Nonverbal children with or without CP can have a hard time learning how to make choices and communicate them. Play is a good way to begin learning this important lesson. Try using the Rocking Say It Play It to help. Hook up two switch-adapted toys to the two jacks, Say the name of each toy into the recorder, and tape pictures of the toys to the sides of the switch. When the child presses on the picture the word will be spoken and the toy will activate. This is real multisensory learning!
