The Adaptive Design Association works to ensure that children with disabilities get the customized equipment they need to participate fully in home, school, and community life.
We offer classes in the basics of cardboard carpentry, construction and adaptive design to occupational and physical therapists, teachers, parents, interns and individuals interested in learning the craft.
We depend on your generous contributions. Every donation helps ensure that children get the adaptations they need to participate fully at home, at school, and in the wider community.
