Inspiration

I’ve been quite scared of TVs with looping trailers. I was doing my minimum wage job of care assistant. We had to help the clients get ready for their day by following their routines listed in their plans. Some were very independent doing outings but I’d agreed to try lots of different types of roles so also some were not. I don’t think we see this very much in society but for some people they lose all ability to support themselves and worst scenarios can include being positioned in a static chair to keep oneself upright during daytime hours.

Then it happened….the instruction to take the disabled persons into the lounge for their afternoon entertainment. Once everyone is well adjusted into their seats sometimes the final part of pressing play on the DVD is missed as the carers rush on to prepare the teas. No one has pressed play.

What it does

How I built it

Challenges I ran into....like the picture of Wolverine but invisible barriers to using tech like not having access to spend money using a bank card due to lack of capacity with money can be the start of never having a good product to learn with.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What I learned

What's next ....reach out to me if you want help disabled persons get better online training or an app where second hand technology and accessories can be recycled into the disabled community.
