Oklahoma ABLE Tech's Assistive Technology (AT) Respite Kits provide AT to help people with disabilities, mobility, or cognitive decline do tasks more independently. This makes it easier for caregivers to take breaks because their loved ones need less help.

Electric Chair lifts help raise individuals off the ground. The waterproof motor allows the device to be used in the shower or bathtub. The Electric Chair lift is rechargeable and can be used inside or outside. We have four of these devices in our AT Respite Kit inventory, and they are all currently available to loan!

Anyone who provides care can apply to borrow a Respite Kit, whether for a family member or friend. Caregivers must complete a consultation form, and Oklahoma ABLE Tech staff will schedule a meeting to help you find the best match from our selection of assistive technology (AT) devices.

Visit our Assistive Technology Respite Kits webpage at https://bit.ly/4iwJAKG to learn more about the available devices or start your Respite Kit loan application!

Kaylee is a pediatric patient with low vision and cerebral palsy. Kaylee explored many different types of kitchen assistive technology (AT) devices with an occupational therapy assistant (OTA) student and a certified OTA at NewView Oklahoma, one of Oklahoma ABLE Tech’s Device Demonstration Program partners.

Kaylee was shown an egg slicer, a teaspoon dropper, an Ove Glove, large-print measuring cups and spoons, yellow solar shield sunglasses, and microwave bump dots. After her adaptive kitchen device demonstration, Kaylee prepared a strawberry mug cake in the microwave.

“My patient grew more and more confident with every step of her recipe,” the OT student said. “She is excited to help her mom in the kitchen now.”

Who doesn't love a sweet treat on a hot Summer day? Enjoy your favorite flavors on National Ice Cream Day with some assistive technology (AT).

The Gyenno Bravo Twist stabilizing handle helps people hold handles in their hand while stabilizing tremors. It turns off and on automatically. The utensil attachments allow individuals to use the handle with a spoon or fork.

The Silicone Divided Bowl keeps food separate and in easy-to-eat sections, featuring three compartments and a one-piece design that is easy to keep clean. The bowl's suction quick-release tab at the base allows for easy removal.

The Scooper Bowl features a curved edge that makes it easier to scoop food onto a utensil. The suction cup base helps the bowl stay in place and helps individuals scoop without spilling.

The Constructive PlayThing "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" prop set encourages children to explore tactile learning and peer engagement. As they feed the caterpillar the yummy foods, including ice cream, the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly!

The Interactive Cooking Visual Recipe - Milkshake provides visual examples, step-by-step instructions, and review activities to practice following directions and develop cooking skills. A one-page visual recipe and an interactive book help budding chefs learn how to make a milkshake step-by-step.

Oklahoma ABLE Tech staff hosted two Empowering Voices: Effective Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) workshops in June. The events brought together 37 attendees from the Oklahoma State Department of HealthSoonerStart Early Intervention and Child Guidance program.

This workshop helped attendees learn how to help children who have difficulty communicating. Attendees learned about the components of AAC evaluations and what information to include in an AAC report, as well as how to work and collect information from other team therapists.

Attendees also had the opportunity to explore different assistive technology (AT) devices and learned about AAC funding options. Oklahoma ABLE Tech is grateful for our partnership with SoonerStart and Child Guidance programs!

When Betty could no longer drive, she needed a power scooter to help with her mobility, so she reached out to an employee at Oklahoma ABLE Tech to learn more about the Device Reutilization Program.

The Device Reutilization Program staff matches gently used, durable medical equipment (DME) to the best-matched Oklahoman. Any Oklahoman who needs medical equipment or devices, regardless of income, is eligible for the program.

Betty was able to explore several power scooter options and find one to help meet her needs. "When I was no longer able to drive, things came to a stop,” Betty said. “The scooter allows me to go to the store and visit my friends.”

To learn more about Oklahoma ABLE Tech's Device Reutilization Program, how to donate, or how to apply for DME, visit our website at https://bit.ly/3N3dUA1
