Assistive Devices

We are including information on products that individuals in our community have found useful. It is always best to consult a rehabilitation specialist (i.e. physical therapist, occupational therapist, Speech and Language Patholigist) to determine if a product or service is safe for you. Many assistive devices require proper measurement and fitting. Consider calling our National APDA Resource Center at Boston University Sargent College at (888) 606-1688 for additional information.
