The old adage says "Necessity is the mother of invention."

Around here, necessities arise because my youngest son, who has physical disability and special needs simply doesn't do "off the shelf" or "off the rack". We have to customize his custom equipment. Over the years, we've come up with some neat ideas, cool solutions, clever hacks. And I'm always on the lookout for even better ideas.

My hope is that this blog can become a hub for some innovative, reasonable-cost solutions to the challenges of everyday life lived in a non-standard body.
