Wheelchair mounted tray - This is a tray designed to fit onto a wheelchair.
It provides wireless internet access for a young person with severe disabilities. It features an A4 tablet PC, Wize DX environmental control and easy access to 'ink well' wheel chair control.
It also has a leathered covered writing pad and an area for storage of pens etc.
I designed and made the tooling for the vacuum form. 3 different mould tools were used to create the various components. I also bent and fabricated the mild steel frame.

Assessment Tool - This is a tool for measuring the manual dexterity of a young person. I designed the tool to measure how much pressure the child would need to apply, which direction the hand switch should move and the hand switch's position in relation to the young person.
