This AT workshop is co-sponsored by the Indiana Deaf-Blind Services Project and the PASS Project. The assistive technology makers' movement and the need for quick A.T. solutions for everyday challenges continues to grow. This workshop will discuss, demonstrate, and actually build skills in A.T. Making. Participants will learn the latest in quick tips for working with everyday plastics, double-sided tapes, hook and loop, multipurpose fasteners and more for making solutions for students with multiple disabilities. Discover how to apply the "...ABLE" Principles in making devices that are collaps-able, reuse-able, adjust-able, port-able, rePosition-able, expand-able, and using repurpose-able materials.
On Day one each person will make 10 multi-use devices to take home with them. This includes devices for: eating and drinking; grasping and holding; reading and writing; blind and low vision; communicating; art, music, relaxation and self-regulation; life skills and mounting solutions and more. On Day two participants will make five additional solutions to support students using Loc-Line, Instamorph, Coroplastic, transparency film, PVC, wire and 10 different types of tapes.
