Study population: Individuals who are long-term residents of a Good Shepherd residential home, which provides 24 hour services for individuals with life-long physical disabilities, such as Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.

Brief summary: Our research aims to examine 3D printed device satisfaction when using mobile devices for individuals with physical disabilities in long-term care facilities, and the impact of the 3D printed device integration on overall occupational performance and satisfaction.

Detailed description: This feasibility study will be conducted at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network (GSRN) in the collection of data examining 3D printing outcomes. The 3D printed devices are within the current normal and customary care of GSRN services, with the focus on the created 3D printed adaptations for mobile device usage (i.e. smartphone adaptations). The feasibility data will assist in understanding the satisfaction and performance of 3D printed devices for persons with a physical disability.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Being over the age of 18
2. Self-identified accessibility needs of the mobile device to address secondary to a physical accessibility limitation(s)
3. Accessibility requests of a device that has not already been addressed by 3D printing
4. Ownership or borrowing of a mobile device for personal use Operational definition of mobile devices: Mobile devices are a maximum length and width of 9.4" by 6.8" and must weigh less than 1.03 lb (e.g. dimensions of a standard iPad mini) and should be a one-handed use device with touch-screen capabilities

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Individuals with severe cognitive impairment (BIMS score of 7 or less)
2. Individuals who were unwilling to use a 3D printed device
