Welcome

This is my very first public blog.  It is the foundation of a company that is currently in formation.  It is based on my ideas that have been rolling around in my head for quite some time.  I’m an occupational therapist and have been practicing since 1992.  I love my career as I love to be a “tool” people use to get healthier.  I will be writing here from time to time and explain more about occupational therapy.  This first entry is to prepare you for what will be following. 

I have always loved gadgets from the time I was young.  I’m in my 5th decade of life, and the longer I live, I am noting that gadgets are not just for playing, they are for enriching our lives.  I plan to cite some of the many gadgets that I come across and prefer and share them with you.  At the same time, I hope to receive recommendations from you and look forward to a discussion about which one is the best.

In my line of work, I use gadgets to help the obese person who cannot get their socks on, the child who cannot hold a pencil very well, a person with low vision who cannot see a printed page, and recommend gadgets for the man or woman who lack dexterity and are unable to button or zip up their shirt or blouse.  Gadgets can be used to complement our function so we can lead independent lives.

Gadgets these days keep people organized as well.  People with disabilities as well as those with great health, both rely on gadgets to live our lives to the fullest.  It is in this philosophy that this blog shall go forth.  There is a role you play, of course, and that is to participate here.  I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Stay tuned!
