How-To Videos

    I know how difficult it can be learning to do things differently. Your life changes completely and I know for myself going through therapy I would often hear I was their first arm amputee. It became a challenge and a learning experience when trying to figure out how to do things one handed. Some therapists just wanted to point me to a catalog to buy a gizmo for everything, and which most devices were outrageously expensive! Then I had another therapist, a student OT, who would work with me to figure things out and make gadgets out of everyday household objects. Not only will I be providing useful videos of my own but I also will be providing you with videos that others have done as well. After my accident I would search the internet for hours looking up ways to do things, it was very frustrating. I hope you find these videos useful. Email me if you have a specific video requests.
