Intended Use
Push elevator buttons and make classes accessible for students.
Description
I have a student who uses a mobile wheelchair and cannot push the buttons on the elevator due to limited movement in their arms. The student can text and hold a pen or pencil. A stick would need to fold and lock or be easy to store. I have estimated about a foot long because the student cannot move his arms far but can use the accessible Button when opening the big door. It might need to be longer, depending on how many buttons are on the elevator and where they are located. The student cannot administer a lot of force, but I am unsure how much force they can administer
