Shelly Painting

Assistive technology doesn’t always mean the latest, greatest high tech equipment. Sometimes it can be the simplest of things. In the pictures below, Shelly, who lives in the Charles Family SmartHome in Longmont, uses a wooden dowel attached to a paintbrush to show her creative side. Without the dowel/paintbrush combo, Shelly wouldn’t be able to reach the canvas. That small adaptation has opened up whole new worlds of opportunity for Shelly.
