Reading gadgets

7 Replies

Can anyone suggest somewhere in the UK where I might be able to buy a gadget that will help my mother turn book pages? She has lost the use of her fingers. Something I have seen is called a Quad Hand Clip Page Turner but it's only available in the states.

Thank you

your NHS “occupational health” therapist (that’s what they are called, strangely) should be able to advise.

A occupational therapist might be able to give advice or a kindle might be easier to manage. I hope you can sort out something.

Has she thought of reading using an electronic device?

I second that, turn the page with a tap and they have the added benefit of her being able to change the text size too.
