Thanks to Steven for this helpful review of the Tap Strap 2, which is a unique alternative to one handed keyboarding by using finger tapping combinations to type:

"The Tap Strap 2 was fascinating to test out. It took some getting used to, but once I started learning the key combinations, it functioned rather intuitively."

Thanks to our APTAT Explorer, Heather, for this helpful review of the Automatic Bottle Opener:

“The Automatic Bottle Opener is something I added to my collection of assistive technology because it allows me to open my favorite plastic bottled beverages without having to ask for help. It increased my independence.”

Bright, bold, and built for focus!

The time tracker uses lights and sounds to help students and adults manage time, stay on task, and transition with ease. A classroom must-have for building independence and reducing reminders!
