This van resembles one of the first AT devices that I saw at the convention. Companies like Toyota have modified vans and SUVs so that they are handicap accessible. There are two models available at this point in time one (like the one pictured below) that has a seat that can rotate exteriorly to the car and position itself closer to the ground, or a model that has a wheelchair ramp built into the trunk that allows the person with a disability wheel right into the car.

The wheelchair shown below has extra straps for someone that has a hard time controlling movements as well as a joy stick control for movement. The coolest feature of this power wheelchair is that there is a function that allows the wheelchair to stand up straight to allow for the ease of transfers.

Pictured below is a LIFT spoon, this spoon allows for a steady grip while eating. There are removable ends that can be replaced with different toppers such as a fork, knife, or even a spork! The technology allows the spoon to automatically move so that the base of the device is always pointing towards the users mouth. If you hand changes direction so does this utensil. This piece of AT is also good for individuals with unsteady tremors because the technology will hold the utensil inlace so you do not drop or spill your food.
