The unexpected joy of finishing a project that has opened another door in my heart.
Being involved in the African Trilateral Internationalisation Project was a growth experience for me personally. It also catalysed a pivot for my small business and a transfer of ‘my’ Pad Perch to ‘the’ Pad Perch, even though I am still the innovator. I am super happy to have it in the hands of Shonaquip Social Enterprise for scaling.
If I was not visually impaired I would never have been on such a journey from product idea to experimentation in our garage to seeing it helping other visually impaired people in another country. It’s a myriad of little stories interwoven with family, friends, acquaintances and ‘right time, right place’ encounters, especially and the .
For me, product development has been like trying to herd a cat. There are so many wrong turns, seemingly wasted time or energy, or both and many, many learning curves.
Innovating from a user need rather than an engineering speciality has had its challenges. I am incredibly grateful to Bhatnagar from the Global Disability Innovation Hub at UCL for inviting me to be part of this pilot study and for supporting African made Assistive Technology that is relevant to local context.
Thank you Hub team! Thank you Kenya trainers Gathoni from , Mugenya and Pamela from , Victor Ovamba from USIU and Leonard Dawafula from NCPWD for your contribution to this project and the many visually impaired people you help each day.
James helped me with planning and Wood I could not have completed without your peaceful support.
I remember chatting to a tenacious wholesaler saying, “I don’t want to just sell a product, I want to love people”. She replied, “Is this product not a way to love people?”
I now think that every product should make people feel loved or encouraged in some way. This will be a future start line as I work alongside Wood on awareness for Inclusive Design into the Aging Sector…the unavoidable destination for us all.
Thanks webster for standing by me, hearing my nutty ideas and encouraging me to be simultaneously gentle and brave.
Now, a little living within the lines before the next leg: Training Trainers who can help people with low vision to use their phones and tablets to increase independence and dignity.

PadPerch for posture

How often do you use your phone or tablet on a desk, alongside a physical notebook or at your work station?

Raising your smart device to shoulder level reduces the strain on your lower back and shoulders. Raising your gaze also opens your visual field. Changing your posture, especially after long periods of looking down and concentrating, can positively affect the complex sensory integrations that prepare your brain for learning.

Many people with Low Vision who need their work closer to their face, also struggle with neck and shoulder stiffness.

The Pad Perch bridge stand with a cleverly designed one-hand tilt platform, can help reduce repetitive strain injuries in various settings.

Try one in your home to discover its various uses.

Pad Perch® is brought to you in collaboration with Shonaquip Social Enterprise.

Curable Inclusion Consulting, with Pad Perch®️, got the opportunity to exhibit at the Advocacy and Resource Centre for Students with Disabilities (ARCSWiD) at UNISA this week.

It’s great to see the various organisations supporting and collaborating to get quality assistive products to our future leaders at affordable prices.

is manufacturing the high-quality Pad Perch, while is providing Training of Trainers to teach adaptive modes and the use of apps for people with visual impairment to use their smart devices for high-resolution magnification. The apps are great for increasing independence and dignity for those losing their sight.

Promoting alongside was a great collaboration for both organisations.

Assistive Technology allows those of needing it to be contributors and creators!

Upside down dummy dums and design for daily deeds. I can't see her mouth but at least I can track the dummy now...most of the time.

The sight can't be cured (yet) but the problem is curable.

Find the right colour filter for your magnifier. I found mine...
fight under my nose...literally, 'cos my nose is usually 3cm from the screen.

All these fabulous free functions are there, it is about being aware. Setting up smart devices for visually impaired or aging clients can be really empowering for increasing independence in communication and tasks of daily living.

My phone sees for me.

It‘s always uplifting to help people with age related macular degeneration discover how their phones can help them see. Here we were training a 78 year young lady who was eager to learn. She was thrilled with the purchase of a PadPerch ® in order to use her phone hands-free as a magnifier for her artwork. She said, “It's like Christmas in July!" and it does not cost tens of thousands.

Thanks to Shonaquip Social Enterprise for the secure supply of PadPerch®️ due to local manufacture in South Africa.

If Low Vision specialists or Retirement Industry partners are keen to have their own therapeutic assistants trained on phone use with the PadPerch®️, contact us Curable

Innovating in Africa for Africa

Sharing this wonderful opportunity to pitch our innovations to investors at the enable Inclusive Africa Conference Africa conference in Nairobi was a real privilege and many meaningful connections were made.

The experience was made richer by getting to know the young brains who have big hearts for people with disabilities. I was amazed to be included, as a older adult who has an innovation which can help people of all ages who need electronic magnification. "inclusion" in practice as we shared our passion for user based solutions.

Here are Maxwell Kamau from Zerobionic, Goitseone Carol Matsididi from MCIPS Chartered, Carol from Revision and Brian Gillo from Sytra and me from Curable making memories as we continue to invent, learn, pivot and scale products that love people.
