Quadriplegic making a sandwich



I'm posting another video to show how someone with quadriplegia (Chris has a C5-6 level injury) makes a sandwich using assistive devices. The video runs just under ten minutes. It shows how Chris uses items like angled utensils and everyday items like mustard that comes in "squeeze" bottles to do this task.

(I could totally relate to his frustration when, about seven minutes into the video and sandwich-making, he dropped the plastic bag with the coldcuts in it onto the bread with the mustard- have those 'quad moments' myself.)

Great learning tool! I teach high school and will use your blog to show students about disability.
