As health professionals, OT's have a duty to their profession and client's to keep up to date with healthcare policies, and other changes in the profession that may alter the way in which they provide therapeutic treatment. OT’s have an obligation to continuously research advancements in technology and healthcare policy, and also to engage in professional advocacy within healthcare professionals.

Through advocating for OT amongst healthcare professionals, this not only advances the profession, but also improves the quality of care for clients.

Occupational Therapists (OT) are qualified professionals with an ability to identify and evaluate the performance of the client, and their environment (Cook & Polgar, 2015). OT’s are a vital component of multidisciplinary teams as they provide evidence based practice to support recommendations of assistive equipment for their clients. OT’s incorporate holistic and client centered approaches, which ensures that recommendations for AT, or AT adaptations, are tailored to aid the client to participate in daily activities (Cook & Polgar, 2015).

Overview: One of the most effective ways to educate members of Congress about occupational therapy and the many Government Relations issues which affect the profession them is to have them visit a facility to see firsthand what OT practitioners do, how they help so many of their constituents. Such visits can leave a lasting impression that can help the profession when it comes time to vote on important legislative initiatives.

Members of Congress are receptive to opportunities to tour hospitals or other health care facilities or programs in their district or state. It gives them a chance to meet constituents (who are voters and potential supporters) and learn about their concerns firsthand. With health care policy being such an important issue to so many Americans, every member of Congress wants to be informed about the issues.

Following are some guidelines for planning and accomplishing a site visit. Do not hesitate to contact staff members of the AOTA Federal Affairs Department to assist you in any way.

Plan the visit carefully. Be clear about what you want to achieve, determine in advance which issues you want to address, and assess how the site you choose for the visit can illustrate those issues. Work with all the staff and clients at the site to assure that everyone is informed and prepared to speak to the issues.

These Visits Should Show:

The importance of OT to health and functioning.

The flexibility and diversity of the profession.

The effect OT has on people's lives and the values of OT that support individual achievement for clients.

The highest level and most contemporary methods of occupational therapy.

Make an appointment. When attempting to set up a site visit, contact the local, state or district office of your Representative or Senator. Ask to speak with the appointments secretary or scheduler. Explain your purpose and whom you represent. You may want to submit a written request and follow up very soon afterwards with a telephone call. You may also work through the member's Washington, D.C. office.

If you are prepared to set up a site visit, ask for that first and take an individual private appointment as an alternative. If you are unable to set up a site visit, private meetings can also be effective.

These Visits Should:

Be organized during a recess. Members of Congress often return home on weekends too, so visits or meetings may be scheduled at this time as well.

Help you to become more involved with other health care activities of the member, such as town meetings they may hold. They may also have health care or budget advisory committees or groups that help Members get information from key health care professionals and other citizens.

Be prompt and patient. When it is time to meet with a Member of Congress, be punctual and be patient. It is not uncommon for them to be late, to have a meeting interrupted (due to their crowded schedules), or to allow too little time for a thorough visit. If interruptions do occur, be flexible. When the opportunity presents itself, continue your meeting with the staff if possible. For site visits, schedule the heart of the presentation at the beginning. Get right to the point in case the Representative or Senator must depart early.
These Visits Should:

Focus on the issues important to occupational therapy, demonstrating them through state- of-the-art examples that quickly show the importance of occupational therapy in health care, education, prevention or other areas.

Allow the member of Congress to ask questions and to have informal discussions about experiences and problems.

Be prepared. Have available at the visit site materials that concisely present your issues. Personalize any materials with stories of individuals or with concrete examples of issues. Contact the AOTA Federal Affairs Dept. for up-to-date materials on the current legislative issues.

These Visits Will Be Most Effective If:

Everyone involved knows what they will do and say.

Rehearsal is done to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Everyone works together to convey a positive message.

Be political. Members of Congress want to represent the best interests of their district or state. Wherever possible, demonstrate the connection between the issue and the his/her constituents. For instance, discuss local problems with health care access in particular communities or discuss specific provider problems using local examples. If possible, describe how you and your group can be of assistance to the member of Congress. Where it is appropriate, ask for a commitment on a particular issue.

These Visits Should:

Be focused on real examples from real people.

Give a local flavor while representing national issues.

Give the member of Congress specific ideas about what changes are needed.

Be responsive. Be prepared to answer questions or provide additional information in the event the member expresses interest or asks questions. Follow up the meeting with a thank you letter that outlines the different points covered during the meeting, and send along any additional information and materials.

These Visits Should:

Be the starting point for an ongoing, positive relationship with the member of Congress.

In the mental health setting, the role of the OT is to promote participation in the client's roles, routines, and valued occupations (AOTA, 2020). The OT uses client-centered approaches, and utilizes clinical evaluation to aid in the recommendation of AT to promote the client’s performance and functioning throughout daily life. OT’s are able to consider the client’s abilities and personal factors that may impact/benefit their ability to participate in their environment; and whether use of certain assistive equipment is appropriate for the client (AOTA, 2010).

faq

Does this come with other scents?

The Manta AROMA Mask only comes with the lavender scent. Lavender helps improve the feeling of relaxation and calmness which could help you sleep more quickly and soundly. The scent was specifically chosen for this product because of its snooze-inducing properties. :)

How do I clean the Manta AROMA Mask?

The Manta AROMA Mask can both be hand and machine washed cold at 30°. Please make sure to remove the aroma sachet when washing the mask. Don't bleach / iron. Air dry flat once you're done washing the mask.

Can the Manta AROMA Head Strap be used with other Manta Sleep Eye Cups?

Absolutely! All Manta Sleep Head Straps work with all Manta Sleep Eye Cups. :)

Will the micro hook & loop / velcro closure pull my hair?

Absolutely not. One of the most annoying things about generic and cheap sleep masks with velcro closures is that the hooks will often catch and pull on your hair. It's painful. It's annoying. And it definitely doesn't help you sleep better. This is why we used micro velcro on the strap. It's GUARANTEED to not stick to or pull hair. We even tested this on our dog (just kidding...not really.)

In this population, the primary role of the OT is to promote participation in the child’s primary occupation of play, and support their engagement in Activities of Daily Living through recommendation of AT. The OT plays a collaborative role working with multidisciplinary teams, and can work within school systems, in home services, and outpatient services to ensure that Assistive Equipment is fitted to the client (AOTA, 2016)

Occupational Therapists (OT) are qualified professionals with an ability to identify and evaluate the performance of the client, and their environment. OT’s are able to consider the client’s abilities and personal factors that may impact/benefit their ability to participate in their environment; and whether use of certain assistive equipment is appropriate for the client (AOTA, 2010). The role of the OT in assistive technology is primarily to enable/support the client to participate in the activities, and occupations that they find to be relevant and meaningful (AOTA, 2010).

Yuriy using CrossScanner with a tongue switch
(Click the picture for more info on Yuriy's switch)
CrossScanner is a universal way to run *any* software by 1 or 2 switch(es). With the switch(es) plugged into my SAM-Trackball, SwitchHopper, Switcheroo, Cordle ss Switch Interface , or SAM-Joystick, or any switch interface at all, the user is able to perform mouse moves and clicks, double clicks, drags, operate menu's and even enter text (with optional OnScreen keyboard). The user interface is incredibly intuitive. All operation is supervisor-controllable to fine tune CrossScanner to the needs of the user.

Now has a great feature providing auto-scrolling (including web pages) from the Icon Window.

Also, you can use the right-button/switch-jack of our SAM-Trackball for the switch input, and still have full mouse/left-click control of your computer.

Auto-scan operation: the first click starts the lineScan down the screen. The next click stops the line when it gets to the user's desired vertical point. If DoubleClick, Drag, or Text Entry is active, an iconWindow pops up for the user to select between with the fingerScan. The final click tells the computer to move the cursor to that point and perform the chosen function.

A NEW alternate scan mode is Inverse Scan, where the line/finger moves for the time you are holding the switch down, and then release for a certain time, to stop the line/finger. You can press/release repeatedly, within the time period, to advance the line finger, until it gets where you'd like).

A second NEW alternate scan mode is 2 Switch Step Scan, where your right-click (switch plugged into an interface than can emulate a mouse right-click) will 'step' the line/finger down/forward, and the click (or switch plugged into an interface that can emulate a left-click) will *select* the current position (stop the line/finger).

American Journal of Occupational Therapy Article:
Evaluation of Computer-Access Solutions for Students Quadriplegic Athetoid CP

"The CrossScanner with the infrared switch reported the highest rate of accuracy in both cases."
"Participant 1 gave both the CrossScanner...the highest rating for level of comfort..."
"According to these statistical findings, the OT should prescribe the CrossScanner..."
"Of the four systems, Participant 2 gave CrossScanner the highest score (78 of 84) in the Assessment of Comfort."
"...the rate of accuracy was higher than the ASL Head-Arry and CameraMouse.
"After 2 months of training with the ASL Head-Array and another 2 months of training with the CrossScanner, Participant 2 decided to use the CrossScanner..."
"The CrossScanner showed the highest rate of accuracy among the four systems and across the two participants. In both cases, the CrossScanner was a reliable interface because it required a single action that could be transformed into a left click, right click, double click, or drag, according to the user's choice."

Empower Those With Disabilities With Our Adapted Scissors

Some adults and children with physical and mental disabilities often have difficulty participating in activities of daily living (ADL). Luckily, there are many products and devices that can assist them with completing these routine tasks, including our switch-activated scissors. With battery-operated scissors, your child, patient or student can create art and participate in classroom activities with ease.

We believe that cognitive and movement disabilities shouldn't inhibit individuals from engaging in everyday activities. That's why at Enabling Devices, we create tools that help support enriching and enjoyable lifestyles.

Battery-Operated Scissors Features

Our switch-adapted scissors are easy to use and make craft activities and class participation possible for even the most profoundly impaired - simply activate your switch to cut through paper. These ADL scissors are easy to remove from their special mounting, making them seamless to install and detach.

Our adapted scissors are held into place with a velcro strap and take two AA alkaline batteries. Our switch-activated scissors work with or without a switch and are compatible with any of our adapted switches for versatile use.

These battery-operated scissors come equipped with a colorful base and pair of functional blades with the following dimensions:

Base size: 6½"L x 5″W x 4″H.
Scissor size: 6½"L x 2″H
Note: Base color will vary.

Additional features include:

Added safety: A plastic safety guard protects the sharp blades for increased security.

Dual configurations: You can use the scissors with the base attached and the help of an aide or without the base for those who retain upper limb movement.

Easy operation: The scissors cut continuously as long as the switch is activated. They automatically stop once the user disengages the switch.

Comfortable grip: Our adaptive scissors feature a grip designed for maximum user comfort throughout the cutting process.

Suction-style base: We've added suction cups to the base for increased stability and ease of use.

Effortless cleaning: These scissors wipe clean easily with a soft cloth and nonabrasive cleanser.

Learn real-life skills: When individuals learn how to use adaptive tools, they can apply those skills to their homes, schools and work environments.

Gain confidence: When people successfully perform new tasks, they become more confident in themselves.

Become more independent: Adaptive scissors help users to craft and cut paper with minimal assistance.

IPad Voice Over/ Switch Controller

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Alternative control over an iPad is not as easy as it sounds, because Apple has blocked any device from working 'all the time' (in the 'background'). So eyegaze, headtracking, joystick, trackball, and a bunch of other cursor/mouse oriented devices just aren't applicable to iPads. So I've made one that is!" RJ More... My iPad VO/SC Controller connects to an i-device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch), via Bluetooth (a wireless technology), using one of two Accessibility features that Apple generously includes in the iOS (the iPhone Operating System: on all iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches): VoiceOver (VO) and Switch-Control (SC). Originally intended for blind people, Apple designed VO so that people could move their finger around on their touchscreen and hear what was under their finger. Double-tap anywhere on the screen to activate (like pressing Enter on a computer keyboard). SC was added later to allow 1-2 switch users to control certain apps. Both were designed to work with apps that were designed to work with that feature, sort of a catch 22 ;-) Re: VO - Apple soon found out that blind people prefer using a keyboard to control a "screenreader" to hear the screen rather than see it. Apple built in many VO keyboard shortcuts so that blind persons could use a Bluetooth (BT) keyboard to control VO. They then added a function within VO called QuickNav, which allows navigating through any VO-compatible apps with left/right arrows, and simultaneous up/down key as Enter (like double-tap described above). There are keyboard shortcuts for your Home button, and toggling QuickNav mode on/off (between having arrow keystrokes move a text cursor within a text field, and moving between things on the screen). Re: SC - Eventually, Apple added this feature to Accessibility to give some switch access to some apps. Scanning, on computers and AAC devices, has been around for about 30 years. Apple did a nice job of duplicating 'standard' scanning settings within its free update. Because SC allows you to 'define' an external switch/action, 4 of the 6 buttons on the Controller can control SC to control certain apps :-) There are advantages to using VO (specifically for those with visual impairments) vs SC (better for those with good vision) that the directions will highlight. Now some caveats:
* You can only move to the 'next' screen object (button, field, list item, etc.) with the right arrow, or 'back' an object with the left arrow. There is no up/down, so you must go through everything on the screen many times to get to the bottom right of the screen. If you have long lists, it could take a loooonnngg time to make it through with a switch interface. This is especially noticeable with the iOS keyboard. However, if you have someone high-functioning, cognitively, you can use SC and Group Scanning to go through blocks/rows until you're at the desired one, then move left to right through those. That is MUCH faster (an advantage of SC). Another SC advantage is that it 'wraps' from bottom right to upper left (vs VO where you must back all they way up).
* Only a few apps are VO/SC compatible :-( Fortunately, Apple's are :-) But be wary of some AT companies that claim compatibility "all iPad apps" or "full iPad control." Simply not true. VO, SC, and my Controller all work best with high-cognitive and the Apple apps (as well as the Home screens). Even only a handful of AT/AAC apps are compatible with these Apple options. To find out if your app is compatible, first do a simple setup. Go to the bottom of the Accessibility options in Settings/General, and set it for VoiceOver only. Now go into your app. Triple tap your Home button to activate VO. (Remember that you have to double-tap after you've highlighted something to actually *do* that something). Now move your finger around. Do you hear things as you move over them? Do they highlight? If yes, then great. If not, there's nothing you can do. Game over :-( In conclusion, my Controller is a great in-between, 'better' than switch(es), but not as great as directly tapping the iPad.
On the fence about this iPad VoiceOver/Switch Control (VO/SC)? Don't be. Let our satisfaction guarantee address your concerns.

Adapted XBox Controller

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"For many years, I adapted game controllers for 'collaborative' play, where the challenged user would perform 1-2 important functions of a game, and a peer/sibling/parent would perform the others. I would add accessible buttons or switch inputs (of your own or my switch(es)) and the collaborator would use that controller. I did this for all the game consoles, ending with the Xbox 360 and PS3 generations. I finally got on board the Xbox One (and Playstation 4 (PS4)) 'train' with these new products! And this time, I was aiming for independent play, piggy-backing off the nice Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC)!" RJ :-)

The Microsoft XAC is a box that connects to your Xbox One (or PS4), which connects to one of the USB port on your console (yes, even if you have a PS4! I supply the adapter). My controllers then plug into your XAC's USB port. For button-pressing, you will use the multi-colored accompanying cable to go from my switch *outputs* to the XAC's switch inputs. In this manner, you can choose what my 4 buttons do within your game(s).

The XAC has switch inputs for all the buttons on a regular controller, so you can have my buttons do what you want, or, get just the Directional Button-Pad below and plug your switch(es) directly into the XAC :-) ALSO, the XAC has a Co-pilot mode where you can have a regular controller 'help' the XAC user.

The Small Joystick below, as well as the buttons, are actually "switches", on or off. This joystick is not proportional. But in my long experience, I have found that the small movement of the stick doesn't really lend itself to fine movement, and 'my' users are not great at fine motor control. So, each controller below has a setting for your game 'range', that is, how far your game thinks you are pushing a thumbstick (which it's pretending to be). And you can plug in 2 of my controllers to achieve left and right thumbstick control (usually, your left thumbstick is for movement and the right is for looking around).

Note!! I do NOT supply the XAC. You can get that at BestBuy.com, The Microsoft store, or Target.com ($99).

And for you PS4 people, the adapter I offer (pink one below) plugs right into your PS4 USB port and away you go!

Enjoy!

P.S. I still offer my Quad Button Box, now, for Xbox One and, with my adapter, PS4 (using an Xbox controller). Contact me for ordering info at <infoRJ@rjcooper.com>.

And not in the Wemo app. Frustrating. I called customer service twice. On hold for 40 min each time b4 giving up. Posted on FB they said pm them. No response 8 hours later.

Q. What is the benefit of having the Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal unit?
A. The Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal unit eliminates the dusty and dirty mess often associated with emptying vacuum bins. The Anti-Allergen System of the s9+ traps and locks in 99% of mold, pollen and dust mite allergens - from the robot to the high efficiency filter to the Clean Base - so that they don't escape back into the air. The Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal unit enables Roomba s Series to take convenience to whole new level - automatically emptying up to 60 bins into the Clean Base, which also serves as Roomba's charging dock.
Q. Is the Anti-Allergen Technology only available on the Roomba s9+?
A. Yes, Although the s9 without a Clean Base does not have Anti-Allergen technology, it does have a high-efficiency filter that captures 99% of pollen, mold, and dust mite allergens.
Q. What is Imprint™ Smart Mapping?
A: Imprint™ Smart Mapping technology describes the robot's ability to learn, map and adapt to your home. Roomba® s9 learns your floorplan as it cleans and remembers this map for future cleaning jobs - this enables the robot to determine the best way to clean based on the orientation of each room, furniture placement, etc. Once the robot has learned your space and you have labeled your rooms, your Smart Map also enables you to direct Roomba to clean a specific room, multiple rooms, or an entire level of your home all from the iRobot HOME App.
Q. How does Roomba® build its Smart Map and know your rooms?
A. Roomba® s9 builds a map of the area each time it starts a new cleaning job. After cleaning the same space a few times, the robot produces a Smart Map that you can customize in the iRobot HOME App. You can merge, split and label rooms as you see fit. After that, you can even set a schedule so that the Roomba® s series cleans certain rooms on specific days at certain times, or an entire level of your home on the days you choose.

Braava jet m6 Robot Mop is intended for large, whole home mopping and sweeping, whereas the Braava jet® 240 is intended for smaller spaces, like the bathroom and kitchen. Like the Roomba i and s series robots, Braava jet m6 uses Imprint™ Smart Mapping to get to know the home's floor plan, giving users total control to choose which rooms are cleaned and when. And because Braava jet m6 is Wi-Fi connected, users can schedule the robot via the iRobot HOME app or initiate a cleaning mission with voice control when the robot is paired with Alexa™ enabled devices or the Google Assistant. Equipped with a Home Base, Braava jet m6 will automatically recharge, as needed, and continue cleaning until the job is complete.

Like the Braava jet 240, the Braava jet m6 features In wet mopping mode, users can add Braava jet Hard Floor Cleaning Solution to add a long-lasting fresh scent. In dry sweeping mode, the dry sweeping pad uses electrostatic force to capture dirt, dust and (pet) hair.

Imprint Link™ Technology which enables these robots to intelligently communicate with the Roomba s or i series to deliver an extra level of clean by automatically vacuuming then mopping, just the way a human would.

Draft:Builder V1.0 - Available through Don Johnston Inc. [Designed and created in conjunction with the Education Development Centre (EDC) Newton, Massachusetts]

Many students need a 'scaffolding system' in order to write cohesively, and require assistance in developing their ideas and thoughts in order to construct cohesive sentences. A study in the USA found that students were struggling with "identifying with what they wanted to write and in organizing their thoughts". (See web site for more background information ) Draft:Builder provides an intuitive and easy way for students of all abilities to structure their work. It is designed by Don Johnston Inc. (creators of the very popular Write:OutLoud and Co:Writer literacy products). It is a new tool to help you gather, organize and synthesize information in order to complete a successful draft. It has text-to-speech technology, a spell checker and three font sizes.
Quick and Easy Installation
MAC OS: Installing Draft:Builder onto a MAC OS based computer is performed by double clicking on the Installer icon and following the simple directions. An alias (i.e. shortcut) of the Draft:Builder application appears in the Apple Menu. MS Windows: You need only to locate the Setup program icon on your CD drive (normally D:) and then read a few screens, click on Next a few times, and then the software installs into the C:DonJohnstonDraft Builder directory. A shortcut also appears in the Start/Programs list. From there, you start drafting!
Setting Preferences
Before you start using the software, you can set preferences for the size of the display font and the way that Draft:Builder voices the text. It has high quality built-in text-to-speech facilities. Buttons or labels can be voiced as they are pointed to (with your mouse or trackball). Each character, word or sentence can be announced as entered from the keyboard. (Note: Or use onscreen keyboard software or an alternate keyboard). By using a horizontal slide bar you can quickly alter the Rate of Speech. It is a shame that there is no "test" button in the Preferences dialogue box though. You have to leave the preferences and experiment so as to adjust this Rate. Text can be displayed in a small font size (12 point or a sixth of an inch high), medium (14 point) or large font (18 point or quarter of an inch). The font is fixed for both Mac OS (Helvetica Bold) and Windows (Arial Bold). The fonts are actual WYSIWYG size onscreen (i.e. the same size that they will appear as your hard copy after printing).

Starting A Draft

Upon launching Draft:Builder, you are greeted with an opening screen that offers three options; Create a New File, Open a Saved File and Open a Template. To become familiar with the program and how it operates, you can open a series of very useful templates. They include such handy frameworks such as Book Report, Compare and Contrast, Essay 3 Paragraph, Essay 5 Paragraph, Expository Report (Animals, History and Science), Food Groups, Inventor Biography, Kinds of Communities, Letter to Author, Persuasive Essay and many more. These templates are ready made scaffolds that have been created for you to use immediately, modify and edit to tailor to individual user requirements. You can open a template at any time and use the Save or Save As options from the menu. The templates are locked and cannot be compromised. You can also create your own templates and save them as a file (i.e. as a document) or as a template. Teachers, as well as students can design their own templates on specific or generic topics or themes.

Templates save time in the implementation of writing or research scaffolds. They are especially useful in gaining an understanding of what is required and how to develop a writing, research or data collection task.
Open A Saved File
When you choose this option, you are opting to open a document that has been previously created by yourself, or someone else. Students thoroughly enjoy creating documents for peers to use and investigate. Draft:Builder lends itself to collaborative writing as well as individual work.
Creating a New File
Once you have investigated the many and varied types of writing genres that are available to students in each of the templates, you can then go ahead with confidence and create a file. The Draft:Builder User Manual (an extremely comprehensive and readable 241 x A4 pages in length, bound in a folder) assists you in creating files, particularly if you are new to this type of software. It is ideal for computer novices, parents and teachers who need a quick reference that has been written and desktop published with a great deal of care. The graphics and "screen dumps" illustrate each point. It is one the better manuals that I have seen and used in a while. This is typical of Don Johnston Inc. as they are thorough and create excellent resources for students who struggle with literacy.

When you click on Create A New File, a new file opens (see diagram above right). The Main Topic is selected and it is appropriately titled, My Topic. You then type your own topic title. You then press Enter (or Return on a Macintosh computer) and select the first topic and rename it in order to begin your outline.

There are three main views, including Outline View, Notes View and the Draft View. The program has a constant window. Rather than navigating through pages or chapters, you simply click on the tabs (that appear at the top of the window). By clicking on a tab, you move to that 'view'. It is intuitive and easy to see where you are working and in which mode. The user can therefore focus on one aspect of their writing (dictated by their tutor, teacher or teacher/integration aide). The clever design in offering only one view at a time helps break down the writing process into discrete parts. Many students find that writing is arduous and difficult. The process of constructing sentences and cohesive thoughts restricts their flow and creativity. Many students have the ideas, but cannot convey them in a sequential or logical fashion. Being able to independently move between the three different processes helps them in organizing information cognitively. They see the relationship between ideas and concepts.
Outline View
In the Outline View, you create and organize the outline of your writing or research task. A visual map of your topics appears on the right hand side of the screen. You can also 'zoom in' on this map view (see diagram to the right). This provides a quick and elegant way of viewing a writing task or 'building' it quickly. Students are more likely to respond favourable if they can readily see the structure in a diagrammatic format, rather than a series of sentences or paragraphs that may well confuse or overwhelm them. You can colour code in the outline view. Each level has a corresponding colour (e.g. 1st level is orange, 2nd green, with blue, red, yellow and purple for 3rd, 4th 5th and 6th levels). You can rearrange topics and subtopics and change the hierarchical level at any time. Students can therefore organize and make meaning of the information a teacher, tutor, trainer or aide wishes to communicate. You reorder the topic by selecting it and then clicking on the up or down buttons. It's that simple! You can also quickly drag and drop topics by dragging and dropping them. Zooming in and out of the map enables you to examine and scrutinize placement and appropriateness of each topic and subtopic. It also assists students who are vision impaired.

Notes View

This is where the student views the outline on the left and adds notes to the right. You can either connect notes to topics and/or sub-topics or add them as unattached notes (or ideas) until you are ready to use, discuss or include them. This view is ideal for students who can respond orally, but find documenting ideas tiresome or difficult. A scribe, aide or teacher can quickly type the notes in order or at random. The ideas and thoughts (i.e. the student's contribution) are not lost! So often students respond in class or in a group, but due to inappropriate timing or placement, it is dismissed or later forgotten. This often leads to frustration and ultimately leads to a lack of participation, especially when collaborating in group work. Situations occur in class where students sometimes feel that their ideas are being compromised or not valued. This can lead to where they shutdown and no longer concentrate or contribute. Buttons are used to hear text, perform a spell check or to scroll through the outline or notes. You can delete and rearrange notes and print out the outline with accompanying notes. This form of intervention and support can be used expeditiously to include all students, with all of their thoughts and ideas in a constructive manner.
Draft View Accessing All Three Views
It is in this view that users view the outline on the left while writing the first draft of their paper on the right. The student types directly into the draft. Students can use the outline and notes as a reference and a guide. They can copy items from the outline and notes and include them immediately in the draft. Students or teachers can elect to export the draft to a text file. Then it can be opened in a word processor (such as Write:OutLoud, MS Word or AppleWorks) a text editor (WordPad) or a free, voiced text-to-speech program such as ReadPlease 2002 ( www.readplease.com ).
Navigation
You can use the scrollbars to move through the outline, map, notes or draft views. There are a number of buttons situated on the screen display at the bottom of the window. A Speak button lets you can hear text. Words or sentences are clearly announced using the voice that you set up in Preferences. A Spell button provides you with a spell check that is available at any time. You can scroll to the left or right, or move a view up or down using four onscreen buttons. A new topic or subtopic can be created or deleted using two buttons grouped together in the centre (i.e. New and Delete). Zooming in and out can also be quickly accomplished with an option to print the view as well using the Print button. These handy onscreen buttons are available in all three views. They are intuitive and accessible with a simple click of a mouse or trackball button press. In the Notes View, a Clip/Attach button allows you to add or clip new notes to the Outline. It is also available in the Draft View.

You can cycle between the Outline, Notes and Draft Views. Students can revise and/or reorganize their information and ideas. Data can be voiced, edited or added/discarded in any of the views. The additional tools for checking spelling and for adding bibliographical information assists users in negotiating the mechanics of writing papers, study notes, essays and other curriculum based assignments and projects. The User Manual, as previously mentioned, is highly practical and useful. It has a large section on Getting Started (8 Lessons); a Contents section with two Lesson Plans and black line reproducible masters of each template; an Appendices (including Keyboard Shortcuts) and a wonderful section on using Co:Writer with Draft:Builder) and an Index .

I regard Draft:Builder as a powerful literacy tool that simplifies writing tasks. Students who may have formerly been confronted and challenged by documenting their ideas in various subject areas can now be made more confident and comfortable. They have been unsuccessful and due to failure, denied their writing abilities and avoided study. These students often experience a cycle of failure. Draft:Builder is a new program that can assist students of all abilities, from primary through high school. Check out www.donjohsnton.com or for more information in Australia visit www.spectronicsinoz.com. Draft:Builder has so much to offer, and delivers with powerful resources.

Eye Tracking Mouse

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Control your mouse by looking at your screen

Use your mouse without hands!

Cameras track and move the mouse pointer where you are looking.

Speed and precision

Combines speed of eye tracking with precision of head tracking.

Supports multiple devices

Use with Tobii EyeX, webcams, and more.

How it works

We combine the speed of eye gaze tracking with the precision of head tracking.

Eye gaze tracking lets you instantly move or "warp" the mouse pointer to the area of the screen where you're looking. Often, it will warp right where you want the pointer, but sometimes you'll need to make a small adjustment.

Move your head slightly up and down or to the side to precisely click on small buttons or pieces of text. It only requires a small movement to adjust the pointer.

When you move your regular mouse, the Precision Gaze Mouse pauses automatically so your regular mouse can take over. This lets you easily switch back and forth.

Precision Gaze Mouse is free open source software. It currently supports Windows and people are working on Linux support.

Learn more about how it works in our user manual.

Better precision than other eye trackers

Other eye tracking solutions struggle to offer precision resulting in a pointer that jitters or requires a cumbersome "zooming in" process to click on small targets. The eye naturally jitters (or saccades) when you look at a fixed point, even though you don't notice it happening. This limits the precision of eye tracking.

The Precision Gaze Mouse gives you smooth control by not changing position until you look outside a small 1-4 cm radius. Head tracking is used to point at small targets within this radius. As a result, you get natural mouse control with both speed and precision.

Get started

A classic, remastered

To create our ideal kneeling chair, we went straight to the source, collaborating with Hans Christian Mengshoel, famed designer of the 1979 "Balans" kneeling chair. The Fully Balans is a refresh of Mengshoel's classic design, holding true to his original vision of eliminating back pain, while adding adjustability, just enough flexibility to allow you to move and stretch, and multi-directional wheels for easy gliding. Crafted from natural beech wood, cushioned with a durable foam, and covered in our favorite commercial-grade upholstery-velvety-soft and lasts for years-it's a chair that's as easy on the eyes as it is on the body.
Your body in balance.
The Fully Balans drops your legs to a 120 degree angle, opening the hips and taking pressure off your tailbone, back, and neck. It's a chair specifically designed to encourage your body to find its natural balance and center of gravity, stretching and supporting the muscles along your spine, and subtly strengthening your core and back muscles in the process. Adjustable leg supports give a personalized fit, and Balans' dynamic saddle seat creates ideal weight distribution between the seat and leg support. For added support, the chair's backrest cradles your lower back while also allowing you to lean back and stretch.

Though the Fully Balans was primarily designed for kneeling, your body is going to want to move, stretch, and change position. In addition to your own adjustments, we recommend occasionally switching to a squatting position by perching your feet on top of the knee rest.

faq

How heavy is the Manta WEIGHTED Mask?

The full mask weighs about 0.82 lbs while the Manta WEIGHTED Head Strap weighs about 0.61 lbs.

Is this made to be used overnight? How often should I use this?

This depends more on the user. If you're the kind of person who can't sleep without some kind of weight on your face / head, you'll love using this nightly. However, there are also those who purchase this not for daily use, but for when they need the soothing power of gentle pressure (i.e. when they have migraines). If you're new to sleep masks, we recommend going for our non-weighted sleep masks like the Manta AROMA Mask, Standard Manta SLEEP Mask and Manta SLIM Mask.

Can the Manta WEIGHTED Head Strap be used with the Manta COOL Eye Cups?

Yes. Some customers actually like the combination of the two and all Manta Sleep Head Straps work with all Manta Sleep Eye Cups. Please be advised though that the Manta COOL Eye Cups are already pretty weighted so for most customers, we recommend using the Manta WEIGHTED Head Strap with non-weighted eye cups.

How does the Manta WEIGHTED Mask help with headaches / migraines?

The Manta WEIGHTED Mask provides deep pressure therapy and blocks out light completely. Light can worsen tension headaches and migraine attacks so finding a mask that provides 100% blackout could help you minimize the pain. The gentle pressure from the Manta WEIGHTED Mask also helps improve relaxation and lessen the pain.

Home Modifications to Promote Independent Living AOTA Fact Sheet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"One of the things I value most in life is being able to function independently," said David Wells, a clinical social worker in Lexington, KY. Wells, who has multiple sclerosis and began using a wheelchair in 1998, had been living with and caring for his elderly parents. After they passed away, he knew he would have to make some changes if he wanted to remain in the family home on his own.

Wells contacted occupational therapist and home modifications expert Susan Bachner, owner of Susan Bachner Consulting in Lexington, for help. "I had been trying to do the work myself, but I really needed some guidance on what changes would work best for me," Wells explained.

Bachner, who is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist and Certified Environmental Access Consultant in addition to being an occupational therapist with a Specialty Certification in Environmental Modifications (SCEM), put Wells in touch with an architect who could help redesign parts of the house for accessibility. But she did more than that: She evaluated Wells' home to identify changes that could facilitate ease of movement throughout the home and took a good look at his lifestyle-what tasks he needed and wanted to perform each day-to ensure not only his comfort and safety but also his enjoyment of being at home.

From Bachner's perspective, home modifications are about finding the fit between people and their environment. "Occupational therapists understand how an environment can make things easier or harder on people, especially if they are elderly or have a disability. I take a good look at the physical setting and the physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges of the people in it to understand what constitutes a good fit between them," she said. "Above all, how is the person going to function in the physical environment while engaging in the routines and daily activities that make life meaningful for that individual?"

Occupational therapists like Bachner are experts at understanding the interrelationships among the physical, psychological, and social aspects of illness, injury, and aging. For instance, as people age, they may experience subtle (e.g., decreased vision and hearing, declining balance and coordination) or pronounced changes (e.g., severe arthritis) that interfere with their ability to perform daily tasks that promote independence. They may then feel limited in such activities as cooking, cleaning, bathing, dressing, and social participation. Such changes may also make elders more susceptible to falls in the home, which modifications may help to reduce.

Similarly, people with illnesses or those who are recovering from injuries may find that their condition has altered their ability to perform daily routines and roles. Occupational therapists work with people to help restore physical or cognitive function and can also assist in making modifications to the home environment that enable people to maintain maximum independence and promote overall health and well-being.

Many people assume that home modifications always involve structural changes, but as Bachner points out, there are other ways to make a home more accessible: "My most frequent request is for changes to the bathroom to make that space safer and more accessible. Often, simple changes can help-making sure the bathroom floor is free of clutter, rearranging furnishings to improve the flow of the room, adding a grab bar to the shower that is placed at the right height for the person who needs it."

Although Wells did knock out a wall to make a bigger bathroom, he also made smaller changes that enhanced his ability to perform daily tasks such as grooming, bathing, cooking, and just relaxing. "It was dangerous for me to try to use the bath and toilet as they were, and it was grueling trying to lift my legs over the side of the tub to get in. I was afraid of falling, and getting up out the tub would easily take 20 minutes or more," he said.

In the bath, Wells had a curbless shower installed, which eliminated the need for him to lift himself over the edge of a tub, and bought a shower-comode chair with waterproof construction so he could sit comfortably in the shower. He also put in a low sink, which allows him to pull right up to the basin and shave in front of the mirror. "It was so much more comfortable, not to mention safer. And I got to take a shower for the first time in ages. It felt wonderful!" Wells said.

In addition, Bachner was able to recommend other modifications and products that could adapt the environment to be a better fit for Wells. "The little, everyday things most people take for granted are difficult for me to do. With MS, my hands aren't as sure and I have trouble moving around. Sometimes, I have periods where I can't even get out of bed," he said.

Wells added low clothing racks to his closets so he can reach his clothes more easily; moved his electricity breaker box lower for ready access; and installed remote-controlled deadbolt locks, smoke detectors, and heating and air-conditioning systems. He also put intercoms at the front and back doors that dial his phone when a visitor is outside, so all he has to do to let someone in is pick up the nearest phone. And, he has put his bird feeders on poles and attached pulleys, which allow him to replenish the food supply without having to stand up and risk losing his balance.

"All these changes-they're not just about safety and independence, but quality of life. I love being able to do things for myself, but doing the things I want is important, too," Wells said. "Just being able to feed the birds is a pleasurable activity. To me, it's a thing of joy." And occupational therapy made it happen.
