WHO WE ARE

Creating Opportunities with Adaptive Devices

We support Diversity Creating Accessibility by providing inclusive opportunities in the creation of adaptive devices that enhance the quality of life for all people. These devices are custom constructed using (among others) tri-wall corrugated cardboard, textiles, and wood. They have proven to be durable and comparable to all factory-built devices. The production process is structured to involve individuals of diverse backgrounds so that their strengths are purposefully integrated. This circle of contribution supports those with occupational challenges, those with physical limitations, and the entire community in which they live and function.
 

This concept revolves around the power of mutual contribution. The production provides meaningful work training for those who have struggled to find it elsewhere. The product maximizes functional independence of people with physical challenges. Volunteers organize the process and local groups provide funding for the running costs. So much good is coming from these simple, yet life-changing, devices.

We built our shop with an extremely limited investment, securing and repairing the necessary work components from donated, second-hand, and recycled materials.

 

With volunteer guidance, these diverse individuals have produced remarkable, and life-giving adaptive devices, including:

 

Custom fitted wheelchair trays to allow for a personalized interactive space for eating, learning, and communicating more effectively.

Ergonomically designed seat inserts for children’s posture support during extended learning days.

PVC pipe, wood, yoga mat, rubber bands, Velcro, and other hardware come together to form a feeding aid.
