AT to Help with Wearing a Mask (with Jen)!

In this short video Jen Mullins of the Michigan Assistive Technology Program (MATP) with Michigan Disability Rights Coalition (MDRC) shares how a silicone mask insert helps her wear a face mask. This Assistive Technology (AT) device may help others with sensory-related disabilities wear masks more comfortably by lifting the fabric of the mask off of the wearer's mouth. What have you found that helps when wearing a mask? Please leave us a comment :)

[Image description: the featured image of this video is of Jen Mullins, a white woman who has her wavy, brown hair up in a ponytail. Jen is smiling under a floral printed mask and is holding a silicone mask insert on the outside of her mask while holding up a thumbs up. Note: the silicone mask insert goes inside the mask, but for this photo Jen is holding it in front of the mask to show what it looks like. In the background is a wooden bookshelf, a wall with various art pieces, and a closet door. End image description.]
