25.01.2022 Struggling to open that stubborn jar or bottle? We've all had that experience! ILS has a range of kitchen gripping aids that makes opening or fastening bottles or jars super easy.

Featured in this video is the ILS twister non-slip jar opener, a handy kitchen aid for people with arthritis, decreased hand sensation, decreased hand stability or upper extremity weakness.

13.01.2022 Encouraging words from inspiring wheelchair tennis player and paralympian Dylan Alcott. A champion for people with disabilities, Dylan is proud to show not only young people with a disability what they can do, but mainly able-bodied people, what people with a disability can do. People with disabilities can fulfil their potential and succeed. Be the person you want to be. Remain authentic to yourself, said Dylan. Last week, Dylan won his 7th straight Australia Open singles c...hampionships. Congratulations Dylan, we are so proud of you! Image repost @dylanalcott

10.01.2022 Keep swinging the bat! It’s the only way you’ll get better at whatever you want to achieve and score a ‘home run’. Someone who had lots of practise at swinging the bat is Babe Ruth, an American professional baseball player. His career in major league baseball spanned an incredible 22 seasons from 1914 to 1935 and he is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time!

09.01.2022 Happy Friday! Did you know that you can test drive mobility scooters in your local community with assistance from our occupational therapists? That’s what Jim did. Our occupational therapists Sarah and Ina worked with Jim to select a mobility scooter best suited to help him achieve his community access goals, one of which was to travel independently and safely into town to grab a coffee for his wife and make sure it remains hot on the journey home!

18.11.2021 After seven years of working in aged care, Dylan had become frustrated that he wasn’t making full use of his skills, experience and potential. With an education in molecular and biomedical sciences as well as occupational therapy, and a love of mechanics, electronics and programming, he was worried he wouldn’t find a job that would draw on his diverse skills and interests. Meeting the ILS Rehab team at an occupational therapy conference changed everything for him: This job ...is my calling. I take great pride in providing my clients with customised mobility devices that reflect their individual needs and personalities. The ability to improve a person’s quality of life and give them access to activities they weren’t able to do before with really cool technology is very rewarding. One of Dylan's recent clients is Allan. Here they are on delivery day of Allan's Quantum Rehab Edge HD power wheelchair. Allan is a big Adelaide Crows supporter and his chair was customised to include the Crows armrest pouch and a Crows coloured sun shade umbrella. It also has a walking frame holder on the back. To learn more about our clinical services for scripted power and manual wheelchairs, contact our Rehab (Configured Mobility) team by phone on 1300 366 398 or email [email protected]

12.11.2021 We know her as Sally, but to one of her clients she is Sally Santa Claus. Sally was drawn to a career in healthcare due to her passion for helping others. She loves her role as an OT at ILS because finding the right piece of equipment to assist someone in their daily activities and making such a positive impact on their life, there is no feeling that can beat that. The job satisfaction is huge. Sally picked up her new nickname from one of her clients living with a neurolog...ical condition that affects her energy levels and leaves her mostly bedbound. One day they trialled a power chair together that enabled her to leave her bedroom and explore her house. She got to go into her living room to see her houseplant and visit her dog, and just engage with her family in a shared space. Every time I see her now, she calls me Sally Santa Claus because I bring her equipment that helps her to live independently. That’s my favourite story, she says.
