Infra-Link Elevator Control

"Infra-Link's new wireless remote control system uses infrared signals to enable physically disabled individuals to access the elevator, open the door, select the floor level and use the emergency call button.

An Infra-Link infrared (IR) receiver can be installed on each floor to which the elevator is to be called. The IR receiver is placed above the elevator door. When the receiver is activated, the elevator is called and the automatic sliding doors are opened. If the elevator is already on the floor level, the doors are opened.

My mom ended up buying this phone for me right after my injury.  It has a cool feature that were verbally projects whose calling.  I like this feature because I can tell my caregiver if I want to answer the phone or not.

GEWA Page Turner

"Considered by most people who know, the GEWA Page Turner BLV-6 is the best in the world. Because it doesn't attempt to do the impossible, this outstanding Swedish-designed page turner "really does work!"

With the BLV-6, the user is in total step-by-step control of the turning process. Errors in turning, sticking pages, crumpled or mis-angled pages—all can be manipulated successfully by the user with the truly unique characteristics of the Page Turner.

Whether you're sitting up or lying down, pages can be turned forward and backward, one at a time or continuously (scanning a chapter or directory, for instance). The only assistance required is to insert the document to be read, position the operating control for the user, and occasionally clean the turning mechanism.

Used for social, business, and educational reading, the unit works with books, magazines, catalogs, brochures, incoming mail, etc. It can be operated with a variety of multiple-switch assemblies or optionally with a visual scanner and any single switch. And, it can be run by most environmental control units."
