Equipment Connections for Children is hosting an Adaptive Toy Workshop this November! This workshop will teach health professionals and caregivers how to convert a toy requiring fine motor skills into an adaptive toy that children of any ability can operate, by demonstrating how to install a switch cable to a toy that can be used to plug in a variety of alternative switches, buttons, and and/or pressure pads. Participants will learn by adapting a toy provided by ECFC and will go home with the toy and the switch at the end of the session, a $100 value! Continuing Education Units are available for this workshop.
The workshop will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2021 from 1 pm until 4 pm at ECFC’s new office space at 7125 Riverwood Drive D1, Columbia, Maryland.
Equipment Connections For Children is a small nonprofit serving Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia by sourcing costly adaptive pediatric equipment, refurbishing that equipment, and then giving it to kids with disabilities who need it, free of charge. This semiannual event raises funds for ECFC’s programs and is a part of the Kids Connect Program that seeks to provide opportunities for learning and exploration for kids with disabilities, and community building and networking for their families.
