 Hacking for the Holidays

Hacking for the Holidays is an upcoming hands-on event where educators and families will learn how to modify commercially available toys to make them more accessible and engaging for children and students with disabilities. Participants will explore creative, practical, and low cost ways to adapt toys so that every child can play, learn, and participate more independently. Space is limited so sign up today!

"October is a month to recognize, learn about, and celebrate the disability community. These and other observances throughout the month recognize the experiences, contributions, and achievements of people with disabilities and the communities that support them.
This month and throughout the year, take time to learn, listen, recognize, and celebrate."
