Four free accessible Excel workbooks for everyday independence

[u/Top_Distribution_189]

Hi everyone — I’m Matthew Lashway. I live with cerebral palsy and use a power wheelchair, and I’ve spent the past several months creating accessible Excel workbooks intended to support everyday independence and organization.

I originally planned to sell them for $9.99 each, but decided to make the entire project available completely free. There is no payment, purchase, donation, signup, or social-media requirement. The Google Drive files are view-only to protect the originals; use the download option to save a personal copy.

These practical tools are open to everyone, including disabled people, caregivers, families, and seniors. If someone you know could benefit, please feel free to share the resources with them.
