On 1 January 2020 we launched our new online shop, stocked with a wide range of stylish and practical products that increase accessibility and independence in the lives of people with disabilities.
Many of us with physical disabilities rely heavily on disability aids to help us walk, move, perform daily tasks and care for ourselves. Luckily, the Disability Horizons Shop has a range of disability aids to help all abilities and needs and make life easier.
Here are 10 disability living assistive devices you don’t want to miss.
