An accessible cutting board to wheelchair users
The challenge
My wheelchair user lives in an inaccessible home. The kitchen counter is high. Cutting vegetables on the counter is an almost impossible operation that requires concentration and a lot of hand strength.
Who it helps
Shahar is 25 years-old, lives in Bat-Yam, loves dogs and she is my best friend (:
How it works
If it is not possible to change the kitchen, we will adapt it in order to succeed in operating in a convenient way without transportation in the environment and in the simplest way, that is, without connections to the chair.
A cutting board that sits on the user's legs to perform the operation in the most optimal operating envelope and to facilitate the cutting operation.
the cutting board comes apart and can be easily washed in the sink.
