ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for assisting an individual, particularly a physically and/or mentally handicapped person, in performing a paper manipulating task includes a base which supports a paper manipulating unit, such as an electric stapler, hole punch, folding mechanism or the like, as well as a platform. In the most preferred form, the platform is vertically adjustable relative to the base in order to enable positioning the platform at a height commensurate with a paper receiving zone associated with the selected paper manipulating unit. A paper tray, selected from a group of trays depending on the particular paper manipulating task desired to be performed, is provided atop the platform for movement between a paper loading position, wherein one or more sheets of paper are arranged in the tray, and an operating position, wherein the one or more sheets are delivered to the paper manipulating unit. With this arrangement, a compact, generally universal and simple to operate apparatus is provided which can be initially used to train handicapped individuals to perform various paper manipulating tasks and later used by the individuals to perform the tasks in the workplace.
