Locks

People who use AAC may need to lock away their personal valuables. Some people who cannot physically manipulate a regular key, keep their key in a private place and ask a trusted person to use it when they need to access their valuables. One participant carries a key around his neck.

Participants wanted to know about locks that they could potentially use.
