I highly recommend this easy-to-read, inspiring and helpful book. It contains over 125 practical solutions for a variety of disabling conditions. It includes videos and photos showing how to make your own tools as well as clear search terms to use if looking online for devices. The author demonstrates how to keep managing solutions to health issues as her condition progresses. All of this advice is given with humor and humility. The focus is on maintaining independence while gracefully accepting help when needed but on your own terms.

What a great resource I care for my teenage son after an accident and used some of the solutions in this book along with the invention of My Lower Extremity Dressing Aid which allowed him to dress himself.
