In this episode of Offhand, hosts Megan and Lottie dive into the creative, practical, and sometimes unexpected ways people with upper limb differences adapt everyday life to work for them. From kitchen hacks and adapted instruments to driving, fashion, and inclusive design, the chat explores how independence often comes from experimentation, community knowledge, and not accepting “one-size-fits-all” work arounds.

The episode also looks at the “social model” of disability highlighting how it’s often environments, systems, and inaccessible design that create barriers, rather than upper limb difference itself.

Whether it’s modifying clothing, discovering new gadgets, or sharing tips within the upper limb difference community, this episode celebrates ingenuity, resilience, and the power of learning from each other.
