Abstract: A releasable access tool and method for use by disabled persons is provided which includes a chin-mounted pointer that can be engaged and disengaged by a user without assistance. The releasable access tool includes a chin cup and chin cushion, a means for suspending them from the neck of a disabled person, and a pointer affixed to the chin cup. Assistance is required in the placement of the releasable access tool around the neck of a user. Once the device is placed around the user's neck, the user mounts the chin cup and pointer to the user's chin by lowering the chin to contact the cup, then lifting the chin and head in a scooping motion. This stretches the neck suspension portion of the tool and pulls the chin cup firmly against the user's chin, allowing the user to manipulate object with the attached pointer using only the muscles of the face, head and neck.
