Visit the Ability Tools Booth

Come visit us at Booth #225 at this year’s Abilities Expo, where we’ll be showcasing a wide range of Assistive Technology (AT) devices to enhance your daily life. We’ll feature tools across different categories, including smart home devices, adaptive workstations, mobility assistance, cognitive support, relaxation & stress reduction tools, and wildfire relief solutions.

Whether you’re looking for tools to improve daily tasks, enhance communication, or support emergency preparedness, we have something for everyone! Here is a sneak peek at items you can learn more about at our booth: 

• Smart Home Devices: Enhance your environment with the Amazon Echo (4th Gen) Hub, a voice-controlled smart speaker that connects all your devices, and the Sengled Zigbee Smart Light Bulbs, which allow you to control your home’s lighting remotely for ultimate convenience.
• Adaptive Workstations: Alternative mouse options enhance control and accessibility like a Trackball Mouse, designed for smoother, precision movements without requiring wrist rotation, and the Joy Stick Mouse, which allows users to control the cursor with a joystick, providing an ergonomic solution for those with limited hand or wrist mobility.
• Transition Life: Alternative tools enhance control and accessibility, like the Pill Aide Automatic Pill Dispenser, designed to assist with medication management by automatically dispensing the correct dosage at scheduled times, and the Suction Cup Plate, which helps prevent spills and makes it easier to eat for individuals with limited hand strength or coordination.
• Cognitive Support: Memory workbooks are a great resource for enhancing cognitive skills, improving memory retention, and providing mental exercises tailored to various abilities.
• Relaxation & Stress Reduction Tools: Promote mental wellness with Sleep Headphones and 3D Sleep Masks, which support better sleep and relaxation. Other sensory aids like the Fidget Hand Muff Dog and Sensory Octopus FEELix provide engaging ways to manage stress and promote relaxation.
• Wildfire Relief Solutions: For those navigating emergency preparedness and recovery, the Insulin Cooler Traveler Case ensures life-saving medications remain at a safe temperature, while Hot Hands provides warmth in emergency situations.
