HandiHelp Innovations

The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992 by United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development, and to increase awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.

Sometimes when starting a new job, or returning to work after a life-changing injury or medical procedure, one might need some accommodations in the office in order to be able to carry on in their role. Often times these accommodations may be thought of as expensive, or difficult to install. The reality is, that there are many simple and inexpensive products on the market to be able to do this quickly and quite effectively. This simple retrofit wrist-cuff/arm-cup on an L-...shaped door handle makes all the difference on being able to enter or exit office space independently and in a dignified manner. All this PLUS being infinitely more hygienic then a conventional high touch door handle, making it all the more valuable during these unprecedented times! #accommodation #backtowork #wristcuff #armcup #Independence #dignifiedemployment #handhygiene #dontstop #cantstop #handihelp #handicup

Today one of my best friends changed my life. Going to the bathroom is something I believe most people take for granted. Very few people know this about me - since it’s extremely personal. Ever since my spinal cord injury, I’ve had to use a leg bag to go to the bathroom, #1. I do not have control of my bladder, and a leg bag is a daily part of managing my injury. It’s always concealed under my jeans or shorts, and probably most people never even notice it. Despite all the...Continue reading

I had a lovely meeting with Chris from @handicup.ca @handihelp yesterday in the Distillery! We chose to take our photo in front of the BEGIN sign, because everything begins somewhere -Chris. Chris has designed an essential product for anyone that spends their day’s in a wheelchair. ... Hydration is an important part of daily life and until he invented the HandiCup there was nothing on the market to satisfy his needs. If you or your loved ones are in a wheelchair and have hand mobility, send them a gift and purchase one of these cup holders. You’ll make their day! It’s a great product to have at home to keep your drink right beside you while you’re on the couch as well! www.HandiCup.com

Do you have trouble hearing people when they wear a mask? Try this new clear visor style mask! They let you read peoples lips and see their facial expressions if you have trouble hearing and rely on lip reading for communicating! @minglemask . If this is going to be the new norm we also need to be aware of peoples accessibility needs. #accessibility #lipreading #hearingloss #inclusion #wereallinthistogether #kindness #helpingothers #handihelp #handicup @ Distillery Historic District

Not sure if this layout makes the door more accessible, but it’s pretty funny. BTW - where is the button for the power door operator? #accessibility #leverhandle #jokes #wheresthebutton #mensroom #blueman #handihelp #handicup
