Productivity buffs know that your workflow and your workspace are two critical areas to get right if you want to get more done. If you have a disability or physical impairment, you might find your workspace working against you. Equipped with the right accessories, however, you can turn it into a help instead of a hindrance.
Keep books and papers in check
In an increasingly digital world, books and paper seem to fit in your workflow as well as a square peg fits a round hole. If you find yourself needing to refer to these ancient relics while doing you work, make it easy on yourself with the Adjustable Wooden Slant Board for Writing.
The Adjustable Wooden Slant Board holds your reading material in the most ergonomically correct height and angle to your line of vision. This improves your posture and reduces the pain and discomfort involved in holding up a book or hanging your head down to read. No more aching arms and stiff neck!
If you can’t beat ‘em, cut ‘em
Speaking of paper, adapted scissors will help you in those situations where you need to make a cut. Save the trees by printing two meeting agendas to a page! People with hand weakness or a lack of hand control may have difficulty using standard scissors. Adapted scissors allow you to use your whole hand to cut by providing a spring mechanism for reopening the scissors automatically. They also provide more ergonomic handles that reduce strain on your hand. Mounted tabletop scissors give people with minimal hand strength and control an edge by stabilizing the scissors and providing a better grip and increased leverage than standard scissors.
Give yourself a hand
There are a lot of obstacles present for people with hand and arm impairments in the typical workspace. Phones must be answered, emails must be typed, and various desk inhabitants need to be used and moved.
The Universal Hand Clip is perfect for people with arthritis or limited hand strength who need an easier way to navigate their workspace. The spring action clip fits snugly around the hand. The clip can then attach to various handheld objects via Velcro strips. Attach the hand clip to phones, cups, bottles, and various other handheld objects.
The staple of the typical office workspace is the computer. Using a keyboard can be challenging if you have limited finger strength or hand control. The Typing Aid can help you press keys accurately. The clip fits around the hand and provides a small, stable, pointer with a rubber tip for pressing keys. It can be used on keyboards, calculators, telephones, and other machines with keys and buttons. The rubber tip ensures that it will not damage machine keys.
Work better with natural light
