AOTA Inspire 2026 – Cheryl’s Favorite Products

What did you think of AOTA Inspire 2026?

I loved meeting creative, passionate OTs from around the world and introducing them to my book – the Occupational Therapy Toolkit!

Almost as fun was visiting other exhibitors and giving a shout out to my favorites.  Hope you are inspired to check out the products below.

Buckingham Healthcare
Lead by an OT, Buckingham Healthcare offers a range of products that in their own words are designed for “Helping People to Help Themselves”.  I was impressed with their latest addition to the product line – the Buckingham Glideboard Transfer Board.  Accommodating users up to 300 pounds, the product enhances safety during transfers and reduces strain for both the user and caregivers by up to 30%. Ergonomic and easy to clean, this is a product worth checking out at Buckingham Healthcare .

Stander – Wonder Walker
When safe, independent mobility is the goal, check out the Stander product line.  From auto, bath and bed safety, to aids for daily living, standing and walking, the product line provides a solution for almost every patient.  Thoughtfully designed with safety in mind, Stander’s Wonder Walker, the world’s most compact folding walker, comes in fun colors, supports up to 300 pounds and has a built-in basket – all while keeping our patients active and independent.   See details at Stander

Squegg – Hand Therapy
Need a smart solution for hand therapy?  Squegg is a great choice if your patient is working on grip and pinch strength.  With gamification of exercises and routines, assessment flow that incorporates the American Society of Hand Therapist guidelines, and a user friendly design, Squegg checks a lot of boxes.  Learn more at Squegg .

Sit and Stand
This personal lift assistant could be the key to greater independence for many OT patients.  Portable, battery operated, flat when not in use, this device can be used in any room of the home or while in the community or traveling.  Providing up to 8 inches of lift, the device supports users up to 400 pounds.  While pricey, it has the potential to be life changing.  Check out the product at Sit and Stand .

Clip Different – Nail Solution
Looking for a nail care solution for the whole family? From baby nails, toddlers who want to do it themselves, adults with arthritis or other limit on steadiness or strength or persons managing with one arm, this could be a solution.  This safe technology prevents the user from nicking the skin and instead of clipping or grinding; the device shaves a tiny sliver at a time gently and continuously.  Sized for infants, children and adults, Lil Nipper makes nail care a breeze!  Check out their complete product line at Clip Different
