This is a visual demonstration of how to use a button hook. A button hook is a low-tech assistive technology device used to help fasten buttons on clothing. It can be purchased at most online assistive technology websites.
Norfolk County Council was lucky enough to enlist the services of Ricky Tomlinson who provided his time free of charge to star in this film to help us raise awareness of the Assistive Technology Service. This film is not intended to be a definitive guide to all the equipment that is available, nor does it form a part of any training for professionals either within the Council or for other agencies. Rather it is a light-hearted overview of the kinds of situations where assistive technologies (both telecare and stand alone devices) could be useful.

How would you do it with only one hand? How would you unbutton?
