Ray is a skilled inventor who is interested in solving the problems facing students with physical disabilities. His openness to design new products – and then build them into a durable, safe and long lasting product are beyond compare. His uniquely designed clamp method will hold instruments in place on a wheelchair tray or table allowing your students choice and accessibility.

A Day's Work Assistive products are incredible and amazing! Creatively designed to encourage and facilitate independent physical responses thus increasing self-esteem and active participation, these products are made with the highest possible craftmanship. A "Must-Have" for all music therapists and teachers working with children, adults and elderly with physical challenges.

My adult clients love the feel of the wood in their hands. I like the way these products improve musical independence and make a wider array of instruments available to my clients. The quality of craftsmanship and customer service from A Day's Work is superior.

Charlotte , North Carolina The wheel chair tray multi-instrument holders from A Day's Work, have allowed my severely handicapped son to play his instruments independently. My son's greatest enjoyment is music. He is so proud when he is able to play the tambourine, lollipop drum,sound shapes, shaman drum and cabasa all by himself! Thank you for your wonderful, well-crafted products.

The instruments that A Day's Work makes are fun and engaging for my clients of all ages and abilities. Their adaptive instrument holders are essential for any therapist working with clients with special needs requiring hand over hand assistance. The pick assist is the piece of adaptive equipment that I use the most. Until I had the pick assist, one child that I work with had never played the guitar without hand over hand assistance. He can now do it independently. A Day's Work makes durable products with outstanding workmanship and you will receive great customer service.

Ray's and Barb's dedication to the field of adaptive instrumentation is apparent in the quality of their work. These instruments and holders demonstrate the highest levels of durability, adaptability, and innovation. I highly recommend A Day's Work instruments for music therapists and music educators.

It has been my great fortune to have met and worked with Ray Day. The adaptive wood equipment and wood products he has designed and crafted are of excellent quality, sturdy, and quite workable for a variety of populations and client abilities. I regularly use several products from "A Day's Work" from the pick assist to the multi instrument holder for both special needs and regular education students. Due to the unique and flexible design of this adaptive equipment, students who would not have been capable of participating in music class can now be a contributing, independent participant in music, academic classes and in social situations. I heartily endorse the products of "A Day's Work"! Therapists and teachers should experience these valuable products which will enhance and benefit the lives of their clients and students.

Challenged to use his arms, hands, and fingers, Josh was determined to play the recorder so he and his teacher used our recorder holding attachment up-side-down to attach a recorder to the foot rest of his wheel chair so he could cover the holes with his toes. He blows air into the recorder through the blue tube.
