Assistive Technology (AT) Highlights

A primary caregiver is someone who provides day-to-day care to another person, such as a parent caring for a child or an adult caring for an elderly family member. Oklahoma ABLE Tech is proud to partner with the Oklahoma Human Services Community Living, Aging and Protective Services (CAP) division for the Respite Assistive Technology (AT) Kit Project. To help meet these needs, Oklahoma ABLE Tech staff have added the Hand Grip & Universal Access Respite AT Kit to the Device Loan Inventory. This kit includes seven items and is available for loan for up to six weeks.

The HandGrip & Universal Access Kit is designed to aid individuals who have trouble gripping, holding, or manipulating everyday items. The kit includes a variety of adaptive grip aids and universal holders that can be paired with common objects to promote independence, safety, and participation in daily activities. Items in this kit can be added to various household tools to improve grip stability and reduce hand fatigue. The variety of shapes, textures, and fastening styles allows individuals to trial different options to determine what works best for their strength, range of motion, and motor control needs. The kit can be used at home, school, work, or in therapy settings.

The HandGrip & Universal Access Kit includes EazyHolds, T-shaped Gripping Tools, NuMuv Multi-Use Grip, Attento Board, adaptive foam grip set, make-up grippers, and a Universal handle. Note: The individual device links will direct users to the product’s Amazon or direct purchase listing.

• The EazyHold Grips are designed to help individuals with limited hand strength, reduced grasp, decreased finger mobility, or difficulty holding objects securely. It may also be useful for older adults experiencing age-related weakness and individuals participating in occupational or physical therapy programs. EazyHolds can be used for different devices with the different-sized grips. The large EazyHold is perfect for mugs, hairdryers, and other larger items. The soft, flexible silicone material conforms to the hand and object being held, helping reduce the effort required to maintain a grasp. The grip wraps around the hand and attaches to a variety of everyday items, allowing users to participate more independently in daily activities.
• The T-Shaped Gripping Tool is designed to support individuals who have difficulty holding and controlling tools, art supplies, writing instruments, and similar objects. By providing a T-shaped handle and adjustable strap, this adaptive grip tool helps users maintain a secure and stable grasp without relying solely on fingertip strength, making everyday tasks more accessible. The T-Shaped Gripping Tool may be useful for children and adults during activities such as drawing, painting, crafting, writing, and other fine motor tasks where increased stability is needed. The grip tool has a T-shaped form with an adjustable woven nylon strap and Velcro to fit around the user’s hand. The grip includes a foam port sized to accept thicker markers, wide brushes, or similar tools.
• The NuMuv Multi-Use Grip Aid is designed to increase the graspable surface of small or narrow objects, making it easier for individuals with limited hand strength or control to hold and manipulate everyday tools. The grip can be used with someone’s right and left hand and is dishwasher safe. By creating a larger and more ergonomic grip, the device supports improved handling of items used during daily activities. It may also be useful for people recovering from hand injuries or surgery who require temporary support for daily tasks. The central opening can be expanded by squeezing the sides, allowing a variety of utensils, toothbrushes, pens, pencils, and similar objects to be inserted and held securely while in use. The grip aid provides a compact, supportive shape that fits comfortably in the hand.
• The Attento Board is designed to assist a wide variety of individuals with disabilities, children, and older adults. Two primary uses of the board are securing items of different sizes to offer support, like dishes, and serves as an effective therapy and motor skills aid for exercises and routines tailored for individual needs. The board is easy to maneuver and store, providing ample surface area while remaining lightweight and portable. The board includes 12 pegs. The pegs can be used to secure items, track progress, or organize tasks, allowing for personalized and adaptable use. Each achievement board is also equipped with a cleaning brush to keep the board holes clean, a carabiner clip for convenient attachment and portability, a non-slip pad to ensure stability on various surfaces, and six elastic bands. Small parts like pegs and accessories are kept in a bag for easy storage.
• The Adaptive Foam Grip Set reduces the amount of hand strength and fine motor skills, improving the grip of everyday items. The device slides over the handles of items like utensils, toothbrushes, razors, pens, pencils, or combs. By increasing the handle size and providing a cushioned surface, it allows users to grasp objects with less effort and improved control. The set includes multiple tubes with different inner diameters, allowing users to select the most appropriate size for a variety of items. Foam-grip tubing conforms to the user’s hand and supports individuals who benefit from enhanced grip stability, including individuals with reduced hand strength, limited dexterity, tremors, or differences in motor control. This material helps reduce strain on joints and muscles during repeated or sustained use of everyday objects. The material is designed to be durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean, supporting repeated use in daily routines such as meals, hygiene, or household tasks.
• Makeup grippers include two adaptive grip aids used to hold and apply beauty, grooming, and small handheld items easier for individuals with limited grip strength or reduced fine motor control. Soft, non-slip, hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone that conforms to the hand for comfort while providing a secure surface. These grips slide onto products such as mascara tubes, lipsticks, glosses, brushes, and similar objects to provide a larger, more stable surface that supports a secure grasp and improved handling. The full-palm support grip can hold most products with a 15 mm to 25 mm diameter, such as mascara, lipstick, gloss, brow gels, concealers, and nail polish. The paddle grip can hold brushes, thicker tubes, and tools needing extra stability. The makeup grippers are easy to clean by washing with warm, soapy water and air drying.
• The Universal Hand adaptive holder is an adaptive grip designed to assist individuals who have difficulty holding or grasping everyday items. This device can be used as AT to support individuals with limited hand strength, reduced coordination, arthritis, cerebral palsy, stroke, or other conditions that impact fine motor control. It enables users to securely hold objects and participate more independently in daily activities.
