Part of traveling around the country with my family included visiting with makers at maker spaces and community therapists wherever I could connect with them. The main goal with these conversations was to start building bridges between the two in an effort for them to work together in creating new innovations and assistive technology solutions.
This segment is what comes out of existing communities that are already blazing the trail and making great assistive technology solutions to help people live more independent lives. Some of these existing networks are linked below:
Whether you’re a maker looking for a meaningful project to work on or a therapists looking to have your idea made into a reality, plug in somewhere and help build the bridge.
