Slip On Dressing Aid
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Versatile dressing aid that helps remove shoes and socks
With the Slip-On Dressing Aid, wheelchair users and those with back limitations or arthritis can put on socks, stockings, slacks, shorts, pajama bottoms, panties and undershorts without additional assistance. A notch in the lower end helps in the removal of shoes and socks. It consists of a pair of gently curved plastic rods which rock against each other, along a section of intermeshing teeth molded into their inner surfaces. Each 19" (46 cm) long rod has a pad of hook-and-loop closure at one end to hold onto an article of clothing. Squeezing the other ends of the rods together will spread open the clothing for entry of the foot or leg. For one or two-handed use.

PLAY Tip
Occupational Therapy: The Fist Brush
The Fist Brush is one of those good inexpensive adaptations that makes play much more rewarding. It is a must-have basic for children with mild to fairly serious fine motor involvement who primarily use a whole hand grasp. Try matching the brush handle colours to the colours of paint being used to practice colour matching. The right tools make creative play available to all kids.
