Only Tall-ette Elevated Toilet Seats feature the LOK-IN-EL Bracket. Brackets are available in two types, slip-in and bolt-down. The slip-in type can be installed and removed from the toilet bowl within seconds. The bolt-down type is designed for permanent installation and is preferred on elongated or unusually shaped toilets. Seats with the slip-in type may be replaced by a bolt-down type at any time. SLIP-IN LOK-IN-EL BRACKET The Slip-in LOK-IN-EL Bracket attaches to the toilet in seconds without knobs, clamps, screws or other complicated devices. The bracket simply slides under the toilet bolt seat hinge pin. Nothing needs to be re-tightened. The Bolt-down LOK-IN-EL Bracket attaches to the toilet with the toilet seat hinge bolts. It requires unscrewing of the nuts and raising of the seat slightly to slide in the bracket.

PLAY Tip
Adapting Signs for pre-verbal communication
Many hearing children use Sign instead of or before verbal communication. But what do you do if traditional Signs are physically difficult to master? Adapt them!
For example, the traditional Sign used to indicate "I need to go to the washroom" involves putting the thumb between the third and fourth fingers in a fist and waving the fist. If the child can't manage the hand position you could try using a plain closed fist waving instead.
Sign-based communication can help improve communication skills, lower frustration, improve manual dexterity, and teach children that hands can be used for meaningful activities.
You will find a good group of Sign resources in Dragonfly's book section.
