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.
Unique devices not commercially available. No fee to participate - consumers only cover costs associated with their specific project. Volunteers with many different skills and interests are already involved in several chapters across the province. If so, then DesignAbility volunteers may be able to help. Residents of Ontario of any age are welcome to contact us for a request form.
