Who We Are
A nonprofit organization
building custom adaptations, nurturing communities,
and challenging assumptions.
What We Do
Adaptations
We create low-cost or no-cost custom adaptations for people with disabilities in a landscape of expensive and non-custom commercial products.
We make this happen using
accessible cardboard building techniques in our workshop space and with the help of donors
and volunteers.
Education
We seek to share what we know through courses and presentations about adaptive design and cardboard building, as well as hosting field trips and internship opportunities.
We also encourage schools and organizations to send motivated students for intensive study.
Partnerships
We encourage everyone to design and build user-specific adaptations. We wholeheartedly support the founding of similar organizations and non-profits around the world. We partner with local organizations, such as the New York Department of Education to effect community change.
Get Involved
A custom adaptation can benefit everyone: the person who uses it, the team that imagines it, the team that designs and builds it, and everyone who hears the stories.
