Miniguide Mobility Aid
$499.00
The Miniguide is a small handheld device that sends out ultrasonic pulses and vibrates faster as you get closer to an object, so you can sense obstacles in front of you. You can choose from five detection ranges, from about 1.5 feet up to 24 feet, and save up to three favorite ranges for quick switching. An earphone can be plugged in to give sound feedback instead of vibration or to help with training. It is meant to add information alongside a white cane or guide dog, not replace either one, and it should never be someone's only mobility aid. It runs on one CR123 lithium battery, which is included, and it warns you when the battery is low.

Liberty Lifting Assist
$22.95
The Liberty Lifting Assist is a handheld lifting aid that helps a caregiver bring someone up to standing from a couch or the floor. It uses leverage and the caregiver's own body weight, so you grip the textured, no-slip handle and walk backward to raise the person. It's built for family caregivers who need another option when helping a heavy individual after a fall or out of a hard-to-escape position. It measures 15" x 11.4" x 1" and supports up to 400 pounds. It's a tool for the caregiver to use, and the technique matters, so learn how it works before you need it in a real situation.

Car Cane
$19.95
The Car Cane is a portable handle that hooks into your car door's latch, giving you something firm to push down on when you stand up out of the seat. It's made of forged aluminum, supports up to 350 lbs, and has a nonslip grip. You can also use it for steadiness on slick, rainy, or icy days. It has a built-in LED flashlight (batteries included), a seatbelt cutter, and an aluminum shaft that can be used as an emergency window breaker. It needs no installation and can be kept in a door pocket, glove box, or purse. It works with most cars, trucks, and SUVs, but some late-1980s and 1990s vehicles may not fit.

Ice Treads - Men's
$5.95
These ice treads stretch over the shoes you already own and add five stainless steel spikes to the sole, giving you a firmer grip on snow and icy patches. They're made for men's shoe sizes 6 to 11 and fold small into a resealable vinyl bag, so you can keep them in a coat pocket or purse and put them on when the weather turns. They're a good fit for someone who feels unsteady on slick winter walkways and wants extra traction without buying special boots.

Ramble Tag Metro
$42.95
The Ramble Tag Metro is an arm cuff that a sighted guide wears so a person with vision loss can follow along by holding a strap, instead of taking the guide's elbow. The strap is a tight, flat loop, so nothing dangles off the cuff and snags in crowded places like city sidewalks and transit hubs. Because the guided person holds the strap rather than the guide's arm, there is a little more space between the two, which makes it easier to respect personal boundaries. The cuff is bright orange, which signals that guiding is happening and may help someone with some remaining sight spot it. You pick a version with the handle on the right or the left, so check which side your guide will wear it on before ordering.

Patriot Voice AI Reader / Scanner
$3,495.00
The Patriot Voice AI is a desktop reader that photographs printed pages and reads them aloud, so you can listen to mail, newspapers, or magazines instead of straining to see the text. You set the page on the base in any direction, press the camera button, and use big rotary dials to pause, resume, or move back and forward in the reading. When it is connected to the internet, its AI features add barcode recognition, translation, handwriting reading, bill and receipt reading, and spoken descriptions of photographs. It reads in English or Spanish with two voice choices in each, and has document, book, and table modes; book mode lets you store multiple scanned pages and listen to them together. The AI features need an internet connection, so plan for that if you want more than basic reading.

EZ Open 7 Day MediPlanner Pill Organizer
$9.95
This weekly pill organizer holds a full week of medication, with four compartments for each day: morning, noon, evening and bedtime. Each time of day has its own color (yellow, burgundy, blue and purple), so you can tell at a glance which door to open next. The bins slope inward so pills slide out easily, and each door has an opening tab, which helps if small lids are hard to pry up. It measures about 8.25 by 5.25 inches and 1.4 inches deep, and the days run Sunday through Saturday. You fill it yourself once a week, so someone has to sort the pills correctly each time.

It can speak and display in pounds or kilograms, supports up to 400 lbs (180 kg), and has a black glass top about 12 inches square. It turns itself off after 60 seconds, and the 4 AAA batteries are included, so it works on its own right out of the box.

Pot Minder Boil Alert
$3.95
The Pot Minder is a small ceramic disc you drop into the bottom of a pot. As water or another liquid nears a boil, the disc starts to rattle, so you can hear that the pot is heating up without watching it. It also changes the size and number of the bubbles rising to the top, which helps keep the pot from boiling over. The ceramic is heat treated, non-porous, and fully vitrified, so it shouldn't change the taste or smell of your food. It's a good fit for someone with low vision, or anyone who wants a sound cue and a little help avoiding boil-over messes at the stove.

Double Spatula Turner and Kitchen Tongs
$12.95
This double spatula works like a pair of tongs with flat, nylon-coated ends. You slide one side under a hamburger or other food, squeeze the other side down on top, and flip it in one move. It grips the food from both sides, so turning it is less messy than balancing it on a single flat spatula. The vendor says this latest version has more tension and rigidity than earlier ones, so it holds food more firmly.

Original Lettuce Knife
$7.95
This is a large plastic knife with a serrated edge, made for cutting and slicing lettuce and most other vegetables. The plastic blade is not as sharp as a metal one, which takes away the worry of cutting your fingers while you prep food. It also keeps lettuce from browning, which can happen when metal touches it. It suits anyone who wants a safer, simpler way to prepare salads and vegetables. A plastic blade will likely struggle with firm or tough produce, so think of it as a lettuce and softer-vegetable tool.

Jar Pop - Glass Jar Top Remover
$5.95
The Jar Pop is a small kitchen tool that breaks the vacuum seal on a glass jar lid, so you can lift the lid off instead of twisting it. That helps when twisting a tight lid is hard or painful for your hands. It works on jars of things like pickles, pasta sauce, applesauce, jelly, olives, and beets. It's a single handheld piece with nothing to set up or plug in. The color is picked at random, so you can't choose one when you order.

Silicone Oven Rack Guards, 4 pack
$9.95
These silicone guards slide onto the front edge of an oven rack, giving you a padded barrier between your skin and hot metal when you reach in. They're meant for people with low vision who can't always see exactly where the rack is. Each guard is 14 inches long, and you can cut one shorter to fit a smaller rack. They're dishwasher safe and rated for ovens up to 450 degrees. The silicone still gets hot, so it lowers the risk of a burn but doesn't remove it. You get four in a pack.

Wooden Toaster Tongs
$2.95
These wooden tongs let you lift toast out of a hot toaster without reaching in with your fingers. Because your hand stays a bit farther from the hot surfaces, you're less likely to brush against them by accident. They can also be used to take other hot items out of a toaster or toaster oven. They're a good fit if you want a simple, low-cost way to make taking toast out of the toaster safer.

Super Oven Glove - Extra Long
$7.95
This extra long oven glove is 15 inches from end to end, so it covers your hand and most of your forearm when you reach into a hot oven. Silicone grippers on both sides help you hold onto pans, and the same grippers let you wear it on either hand. It handles heat up to 480°, comes as a single glove in one size, and can go in the washing machine. It's a good fit if you want extra reach and a firmer grip when lifting hot pans, and since it's only one glove, you'll need a second one if you want a pair.

Microwave Cool Caddy
$6.99
The Microwave Cool Caddy is a holder that lets you lift a hot plate or bowl out of the microwave without touching the dish itself. It fits dishes from about 5 inches up to 10.5 inches wide, and the handles are made to stay cool while the food heats. The caddy also catches spills and boil-overs, so there's less to wipe up inside the microwave. It's a good fit for anyone who burns their fingers on hot dishes, or who finds it hard to grip a hot bowl safely. You supply your own plate or bowl, since none is included.

Fasta Pasta Microwave Pasta Cooker
$16.95
The Fasta Pasta is a standard microwave pasta cooking container sold by an AT vendor. It measures, cooks, and strains pasta in a single container without requiring a stovetop. While some AT vendors carry adapted kitchen tools for people with limited mobility or dexterity, this is a mainstream consumer product with no adaptive features — it is not designed for or marketed toward people with disabilities. It happens to appear in an AT vendor's catalog, but that alone does not make it assistive technology.

6-Way Multi-Opener
$11.95
The 6-Way Multi-Opener is a single handheld tool that takes the place of several kitchen gadgets. It has a comfortable, durable grip and handles cans, drink bottles, metal bottles, screw tops, jars, sealed plastic bags, and some foil safety seals. It's a good fit if a stuck lid or a tight seal is a daily struggle and you'd rather carry one tool than keep a drawer of them. Some foil seals only, so tougher packaging may still need another method.
