Activities like reading the morning paper, pouring a glass of milk or pursuing a favourite hobby can be a real challenge. But often, there's a way to overcome these barriers - and that's where DesignAbility comes in.
Solutions are often simple, but can change a person's life.
DesignAbility projects have ranged from page turners to handwriting aids. And whether we're designing and creating a whole new device from scratch, or just tinkering with an existing one to make it more useful, every project makes a real difference in the life of a child or adult with a physical disability. Ontario March of Dimes' DesignAbility volunteers work closely with Occupational and Physical Therapists to create solutions which enable people to live and work more independently. Highlights Low-cost solutions. Skilled volunteers develop devices, taking the person's specific needs into account.
