So Dominic has WANTED to trim his own fingernails for a LONG time. He's held the clippers in place and TRIED. He just simply hasn't had the pincer grip strength to operate them.
Enter awesome OT team that can problem solve like nobodies business.
They made him a tabletop fingernail clipper set up. This is what it looks like. Clippers, block of wood, glue, and nonstick matting. Not rocket science by far, but super cool for an adaptive pair of nail clippers.
Then They taught him how to use it.
Hello Independent personal grooming!!!! HOORAY!!!!
Next up we'll see if he can use it on his toes. That should be amusing :)
