Self-Expression and Independence for Your Loved One

Families around the world have trusted Guided Hands® to help their loved ones experience greater independence, self-expression, autonomy, and dignity.

It’s the tears of joy when they write their name for the first time. The artwork proudly hung on the family wall. The first text message sent independently to someone they love. The moments others may take for granted.

Guided Hands® can help your loved one thrive and participate independently.

Supporting You at Every Stage of Life

Guided Hands® uses shoulder-driven movement to support your loved one through every stage of life, from learning and play to therapy and work, creating endless possibilities for independence.

A New Way to Participate

Meet Zippy

A bright and creative 5-year-old with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC). Before Guided Hands®, Zippy often used a paintbrush or pencil in his mouth to create. Today, Zippy uses Guided Hands® both at school and at home. He can sit alongside his classmates, friends, and sister, draw and write with his hands, and chat with those around him while he creates, giving him greater independence, inclusion, and dignity in everyday life.

"Guided Hands® allows him to just be a kid."

— Cindy, Zippy's mom
Before and after: Zippy painting with a paintbrush in his mouth, then using Guided Hands® to draw with his hand

Funding Support

Guided Hands® was originally designed to be purchased by schools and healthcare facilities for use with their students and clients. However, we also wanted to make Guided Hands® available to families who wish to use it at home.
