[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 169943, member: 3704"] Janet, I highly recommend a one time visit with an occupational therapist. It is even better if they can come to your home to evaluate, but you can take photographs of your home to the therapist. Your physician can write a prescription for the evaluation, and most insurance policies will cover this service. Occupational therapists have a million tricks up their sleeves and they often are very inexpensive "fixes". I don't know where you live, but Georgia Tech University here in Atlanta has a Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access. They have a library that is free to the public and an occupational therapist on staff. Their phone number is 1-800-726-9119 and their web site is [url]http://www.assistivetech.net[/url] I work with individuals who have had catastrophic work injuries and I have found the services of occupational therapists invaluable over the years. New adaptive aids and durable medical equipment comes on the market every day -and they are the folks who keep up with the advances. it is simply amazing how much better your day to day life can be made with the correct equipment. Good luck in your research! [/QUOTE]
