Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Ideal for scrubbing the back and lower extremities when showering or bathing.
Ideal for scrubbing the back and lower extremities when showering or bathing. People having a reduced range of motion will find it a more comfortable method of washing. Its replaceable two-sided sponge, 3 3/4" (95 mm) diameter, is mounted at an angle to the 22" (56 cm) long handle. The sponge swivels to follow body contours. The model with the curved handle allows use without raising the hand much higher than the shoulder. The handles can be modified to other angles by heating with a hair dryer or heat gun at a low setting.

Interpreting Facial Emotions
Many children (especially those with autism-like conditions) have difficulty interpreting facial expressions and understanding why people feel certain emotions. Moody Bear Puzzle, Emotion Cards, Smart Alex software all offers an opportunity to recognize expressions and hopefully talk about why the person might be happy or frightened. Try using them with a mirror and perhaps Polaroids of familiar people showing the same emotions. Eventually see if your child can make (and understand) the expressions, then take their pictures!
