<DIV>Sure. I guess it comes down to perspective. For example, my
mother used the bowl years and years ago when she cut the boys’ hair, just to
keep it off the floor. The leg circulation device is commonly used for
people without disabilities, but that doesn’t preclude its use in other
ways. I think those of us who work with people with disabilities do, in
fact, respond to stimuli which other folks can be forgiven if they miss. I
always choose to use most terms as nouns, not adjectives to modify terms about
disability. I would say my daughter with a disability, not “my disabled
daughter.” Comes with the territory, don’t you guess.</DIV>

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Yes, most of those devices
are used to assist people with disabilities in way or another. I have had
clients that have limited use of their arms and hands, for example MS or partial
brain damage. If they want to shave without the fear of messing it up they can
use a device like the Goatee saver. It keeps independence for a person that can
also have a style they <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"
id=misspell-0><SPAN>prefer</SPAN></SPAN> to have or keep. The umbrella can be
used to keep an adult or child from interfering with a hair cut. Ever try to cut
hair on someone who scratches? Or someone that bites themselves? It isn't easy.

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">The leg device is used to
keep circulation in the legs for people. The bouncing ball is also used for
<SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-1><SPAN>restorative</SPAN></SPAN> and
maintaining motion in people that are disabled. I have used them before with
clients. They are in every <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"
id=misspell-2><SPAN>rehabilitation</SPAN></SPAN> facility I have been in. <SPAN
id=misspell-3>Gritman</SPAN> even has them.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">See, it may seem silly to the
average user because they lack understanding of others needs and disabilities.
But independence for people that are very reliant on others, even if it seems
something small like picking their facial hair style, is very important for not
just their physical health, but also for their <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"
id=misspell-4><SPAN>psychological</SPAN></SPAN> health to remain independent.
Imagine if you had to use a device that the media was encouraging people to make
fun of for using it? Or worse, what if a loved one had to endure that loss of
dignity? It isn't a nice thing to do to people. <VAR

<DIV>Donovan, are you SURE we looked at the same link? Most of
the ones I saw <SPAN id=misspell-6>weren</SPAN>’t <SPAN

disabilities—personally I might agree a goatee is a
disability. Actually, I bought the reading glasses and really
like them, but my children are vastly unimpressed when I use them in a dark
