Simple Adjustments to the Home

  • Use tactile dots, plasticized markers or puff paint to label switches and appliances such as microwaves or dishwashers.

  •  20/20 pens make dark lines that are easier to read.

  • Create specific spots for everything.

  • Enroll with Bookshare.

  •  Edges of stairs should have a contrasting color so that the person knows where each step begins. Paint or colored tape works well.

  • Lighting should be non-glare and shadow free. Natural light is usually best.

  • Tape down rugs.

  •  An InstaPot can be helpful because all items can be added at once and there’s less chance of getting burned.
