SkillSet

Office Tools for People with Limited Hand Function

SkillSet is a family of inexpensive office aids that help people with limited hand function work effectively in the modern office environment. SkillSet can enhance the productivity and independence of office workers, professionals, students - anybody who works with documents or computers. SkillSet tools work with standard office equipment and supplies, making them an attractive investment for employers who wish to meet ADA requirements cost-efficiently.

Most SkillSet tools are designed for one-handed operation, minimizing the necessity for trunk mobility and bilateral coordination.
