How to make your routine more accessible?

A curated selection of products and solutions for everyday life



There are mornings when putting on a shirt becomes a project in itself. Opening a packet can demand a strength the body simply doesn’t have. Even finding the right object or carrying out a simple task at home becomes another barrier — not because it’s inherently difficult, but because the world wasn’t designed with every body in mind.


Making the world more possible for everyone is one of the driving forces behind BIG (Bullock Inclusion Global): promoting accessibility across the most diverse areas of life, with autonomy as a starting point and part of our DNA, not a concession.


And it was with this in mind that we decided to create another solution: an online shop, within Amazon’s affiliate programme, featuring products that combine functionality with genuine accessibility, for a better routine for people with disabilities.


Want to know what your experience will be like? Here’s how it works: everything is organised by category, to make your search easier. And for each product, you’ll find far more than a catalogue description: a simple, practical explanation of which features make that item accessible — so you discover what it solves, not just what it does.


What changes when we look for accessibility in our everyday products?



Products for a more accessible routine


Sometimes it starts with something you read in a book — when it points out that subjects like fashion need to be human-centred to be genuinely functional, as Grace Jun highlights in her book Fashion, Disability and Co-Design: A Human-Centred Design Approach.


Since we’re on the subject of fashion, why not have, for instance, a sweater in your wardrobe that combines functionality with fashion sense at the same time? That’s the case with this one, which can also be paired, in your outfit, with a bracelet fully adjustable to the wrist.


Making functional choices also means taking care of yourself: and when it comes to personal care, for example, even using an electric toothbrush can make a difference. This is certainly a health act in its own right — alongside solutions we won’t overlook, such as treating bedsores or pressure ulcers with hydrocolloid patches.


As you can see, we’re touching on different spheres of this routine: from someone travelling who’s looking for a backpack that adapts to that reality, to the confidence of being able to apply make-up with a foundation bottle designed for accessibility, or, in the simplest moment of the day, opening a can in the kitchen with the help of an electric can opener.


When it comes to technological progress, it should be precisely there to make things easier — as is the case with Meta Glasses, cutting-edge technology that comes with accessibility features available to everyone.


See how all the categories connect and work together to make a routine more accessible? Count on us to keep updating this list and making the experience even BIGger and better!
