Assistive Technology
Adaptive Equipment

Adaptive equipment enhances an individual's ability to gain independence through the development, construction and maintenance of specialized equipment. A wide range of materials, supplies, and tools are available so that new pieces of equipment can be conceived and then constructed to meet an individual's specific needs.

Projects include:

• Repair and maintenance of communication devices
• Adapting toys to meet specific needs of individual children
• Wheelchair repair and maintenance
• Developing aids to assist individuals in completing job contracts
• Project I-SIT (Independent Seating for Infants and Toddlers) This program allows children to have appropriate and individualized seating that meets their needs. It can include high chairs, booster seats, strollers and adaptations to playground equipment.
