Assistance Devices
-
Anne Marie invented a device to enable an
assistance dog to pull it's owners wheelchair and she hasn't
stopped inventing since.
-
Anne Marie began working on this invention
when she was 7 years old. Her mother suffered from post-polio
syndrome and had to be in a wheelchair on and off. She thought
it would be a neat idea to tie a dog to the front of her
mother's wheelchair so the dog could pull it.
-
She continues to work on perfecting this
invention and has gone on to invent other things such as a
better harness for assistance dogs that improves balance and
bracing and a leash that requires very little motor control.
