Back at Christmas we received the Handeholder (www.handeholder.com) and love it. We have continued to experiment with the best ways to get it to work with Junior's wheel chair and have finally come up with what works best for him. I really like the handeholder with c-clamp because it is very easy to move and can quickly be changed from one spot to another. I can also very easily slide the ipad out of the clamp when I want to hold it. Our biggest issue has been finding an arm that is bendable and can be placed in some very strange positions to get the ipad where we need it. The wonderful man at handeholder sent us an extender arm which is great for Junior's transport stroller when we are out but his wheel chair presents a whole new set of positioning issues. I recently was going through a closet and found an old switching arm(held a head switch for Junior), it is heavy duty and has several movable joints. I decided to see if there was anyway to attach the handeholder to the switch arm. I was so excited when I found that the screw on the bottom of the handeholder clamp is compatible with the switch arm(I am not sure where this switch arm was purchased but it says Manfrotto on the side). Now our beloved handeholder works with every position we need it to be in.

I know this isn't a great pic for showing the arm but it is attached to the back of his stander. It is then positioned so it comes around to the side.
Junior has a cold so isn't feeling well at the moment. We saw the doctor yesterday and thankfully his lungs are moving air and there is no infection. Please keep him in your prayers, he loves to throw me curves and a cold is never just a cold with him.
