Thanks for all the advice everyone. I think I'm going to try a hand held showerhead. It's so hard because she wants to be independent especially because of her age, she doesn't want me helping her in the shower, but everytime I let her try to do it herself, it looks really bad. It's funny, when I was young my mom used to fight with me all the time about my hair not being clean and not brushing it right and it always looking bad and I didn't even have a BPI!!! She finally had enough one day and took me and got it all cut off!! I know everytime I complain about this to her, she just LOVES that I'm going through it. Paybacks are heck, huh??

Thanks Marieke,
I would really like some tips on how she can do her own ponytail. That would be great!!! Thanks!

How much hand/finger function does she have?

Can she put her BPI arm up onto her head with help from her other arm?
