Product Description:

Therese Willkomm, Ph.D., takes ordinary items and turns them into extraordinary assistive technology solutions in minutes for individuals with disabilities. This DIY book picks up where book one left off, demonstrating a five minute, low cost, approach to creative problem solving without the need for power tools or electricity. Assistive technology has a very high failure rate and in of need of rapid fabricating and on-going adapting on the fly. This book empowers everyone to be spontaneous and create solutions to everyday challenges using everyday materials. However, it is more than just a "how-to" recipe book, it contains over 750 colored photographs, amazing and entertaining stories, and a DVD of 115 "how-to"video clips. But wait- there is more.... The DVD contains PDF recipe sheets for quick printing or emailing to individuals with disabilities. An XML copy of the book with picture descriptions is also included on the DVD for individuals who experience visual impairments.
