Beautifully embossed floral leather details on a head wand transform the adaptive device into a piece of art, disassociating it from a generic piece of rehabilitation equipment.
This image comes a section on adaptations towards the end of Ray Lifchez and Barbara Winslow’s Design for Independent Living: The Environment and Physically Disabled People.
The section visually explored the resourcefulness of Berkeley’s crip community to employ various adaptive devices (e.g. a head wand to speak or mouth wand for typing) to adapt the environment to them, making their disability more manageable.
