Classroom aids for a child with severe upper limb deficiencies.
Six adaptive aids were designed and fabricated to improve the classroom functioning of a 7-year-old boy with severe upper limb deficiencies. Most aids were lightweight and easily stored in the child's classroom desk. The pullover shirt aid, the largest device, was stored in an adjoining playroom area. Because these aids were inexpensive to fabricate, duplicates were made as needed for use at home. These aids could easily be modified by other therapists to meet the needs of patients with congenital or acquired limb deficiencies.
