Learn and practice toy adaptation techniques using low-cost tools and materials. Participants will learn and use the "...able" principles to fabricate 10 multi use devices for students with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments. Each participant will receive a copy of "Make Stuff and Love People - Assistive Technology Solutions in Minutes - Book 3 by Therese Willkomm (2021)

-Day 2 -- Adapted Toy Drive Workshop
Educators and related service providers will come together to modify and adapt donated battery-operated toys using simple switches. All adapted toys from this event will be donated as part of our Giving Tuesday Adapted Toy Drive, providing inclusive play opportunities for children in need.

No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to learn, create, and give back! Join us in making play more accessible for all students and leave with the skills to continue adapting toys in your district. #ATESC1, #SLPESC1, #LIDESC1
