Make-It-Yourself Adaptive Equipment

Doreen Greenstein has authored a series of books on practical, do-it-yourself adaptive equipment for persons with physical disabilities and the elderly. The books are illustrated and written in large print and include a variety of ideas for the home as well as for daily activities, from making a kitchen sink accessible to gardening with one hand. All modifications can be made easily and inexpensively using common materials. For complete instructions on many useful adaptations, "Easy Things to Make...To Make Things Easier" by Doreen Greenstein may be purchased at Brookline Books, PO Box 1047, Cambridge, MA 02238; Phone: 1-800-666-2665.
