Click-N-Type is a virtual keyboard designed for anyone with a disability that prevents him or her from typing on a physical computer keyboard.  As long as the person can control a mouse, trackball or other pointing device, he or she can send keystrokes to virtually any Windows application or DOS application that can run within a window. 

Standing Frame – Similar to a lectern, except the standing frame provides torso support. Torso support often allows a person who normally needs assistance to weight-bear the ability to do so without assistance. Frame provides work surface allowing freedom of upper body movement while standing. Made from wood.

Desktop Lazy Susan – The desktop Lazy Susan provides easy access to files and supplies on many desktops. Ideal for persons with limited range of motion.

Receptionist Mat - Ideal for the visually impaired, this mat is used to signal the presence of a visitor. Placed directly on the floor or under existing carpet, the attached alert box will signal when a visitor "steps and remains on" the mat for a few seconds. The alert box will not sound due to passing traffic. This device is especially helpful in situations where visitors do not immediately notify their presence.

Assistive Lifting Device – This device was designed to allow aides to lift persons from a sitting position without putting stress on the persons arms and shoulders. The lift is placed on the seat prior to sitting down. Because the lift is not bulky, it may be sat on without irritation.

Deep Steps – Adding deeper treads to existing steps is beneficial when a person utilizing a walker will use steps. Deep treads are added over existing steps without removing original treads. This allows easy conversion back to original steps when deep treads are no longer needed.

Step Lift – Utilizing a deck mount van lift for a residential step lift is beneficial when a ramp or other type of stair lift is not practical.
