ADA serves children of all ethnicities and income levels, aged birth to 12 years, from all five NYC boroughs. Each year we assist approximately 150 infants and children directly through the design and construction of customized adaptive equipment; and another 1,250 children indirectly through hands-on courses for 250 teachers, physical and occupational therapists, parents, classmates, and volunteers. Through outreach activities, we educate an additional 250 people about the needs of children with disabilities and the benefit of handmade assistive devices.
