Toddler proof lids are also impossible without help for us, Ataxians. What to do?

I hate those, and complain all athe time, when I buy anything I always get my son to open everything and then I slightly close everything

i was just thinking about the time i had to use my left hand to eat b/c my right hand was doing its own thing (i'm right handed). sometimes we have to get a little creative😀. it's nice if someone is nearby to help... my gran has someone come over every other week and put all of her tablets in a caddy. perhaps someone could help you with that?

My left hand is useless so everything has to be done with one hand and opening tamperproof things with one hand is not possible. I always need help but thought that maybe there is some gadget besides a caddy for tablets

the only thing i can think of is the grabber... i use one a lot when out in public, especially shopping at the store, but i'm not sure how to wield it? perhaps a short one or an extendable one, if you put the bottle between your legs and have the leg strength, you could maneuver it for the lid. nope, that seems too fiddly. i'm sorry. one of the hardest things for me to do is accept when i can't do something.

Grabbing it between the legs is not a bad idea.

Not what you're looking for?
