Method and apparatus for accessing ADL devices

Abstract

An apparatus and method that allows the access and use of assistive living tools. The apparatus includes a magnet attached to a flexible rod with a clamp attached to the opposite end from the magnet. Detachable small metal strips are attached to ADLS or other devices allowing the device to be supported by the magnet for access. The device can easily be removed from the magnet for use and can easily be replaced to the magnet. Devices, such as a TV remote control, cell phones, etc. could be attached to the rod making them accessible to operate with a mouth stick. This device allows unassisted access to a pencil, a paintbrush, a control stick, or a straw, etc. by persons with limited mobility.
