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 computer and communication devices
• Adapting toys to meet specific needs of individual children
• Wheelchair repair and maintenance
• Developing aids to assist individuals in completing job contracts
• Equipment adapted to allow children to have appropriate and individualized seating that meets their needs. It can include high chairs, booster seats, strollers and adaptations to playground equipment.
