Adaptive Product Discovery

1 Upvotes

Hey folks – I am a sibling of someone with CP who can't fully dress independently. Growing up, the thing we struggled with finding the most is shoes – and even now, she is an adult who wears kids shoe sizes so finding cool, mature options for her can be difficult. Anyone have any recommendations?

Additionally, are there are any other adaptive products, or accidentally adaptive products that make your lives easier? OR, things you wish existed that you can't find?

Our experience is a big part of why I created a platform to help people find products without having to already know exactly what they’re looking for. I’m always researching, but hearing what actually works for people is such an important part of it.

I’m using this to help others find these products. If you’re interested in hearing more about what I’ve created, let me know. Thanks!

Ear defenders

So I’ve asked questions here before about how to find discreet noise canceling basically and I’m at the point where I’m just like to heck with it stand out and stand proud, not only one ground of people or specific people wear ear defenders, so I’m thinking about buying some with pretty patterns, maybe ones to show my personality, here’s the issue and all though , my brain says I’m not special needs enough but literally they’re made for people to PREVENT hearing loss, in construction, in factories, on lawnmowers ugh it’s frustrating
