I will now introduce my chosen topic of interest which is related to my fieldwork experience.
 "Adaptive Equipment and aids for independance within the home environment"
I have five different sources of online video content that I hope will give a good explanation and demonstration of "Adaptive Equipment" I have links available to the

Mr Swivel is a standing device designed to aid a person who has Muscular Dystrophy and that experience a limited range of movement. It gives the individual with a disbility the choice of how they are transfered and minimal on their joints and body. Persons with a progressive type of the disease normally require carers to help with transfering/transfers.

The Shower Buddy is designed to help the user have a certain amount of independance and allows carers to perform a minimum of tranfers from bed to wheelchair or wheelchair to toilet and vs versa, this device inceases safety and minimises accidents associated with tranferring clients.
Sock aid allows client to place a sock on with minimal effort, useful after a hip replacement, or someone experiencing arthritis of the hands. 
This link covers the why, how and who of assistive technology for disabled users, their rights, impacts, and examples of devices that are available.

A wonderful video that focuses on devices for children with multiple sclerosis and the like, a big touch pad commonly named a jellybean is linked to interactive toys and or devices to assist learning. It can be used instead of small switches that make it difficult for kids to use equipment and perform tasks.
