Toy Workshops
Toy Repair Workshops
In these workshops, volunteers come and repair as many toys and assistive devices as possible in a 2 hour period. Workshop activities often involve simple repairs such as a broken wire or corroded battery terminal. Repaired items are checked for safe operation prior to being returned to the agencies
Toy Adaptation Workshops
In these workshops, volunteers adapt mainstream, battery-operated toys by placing a switch cable in parallel with the original switch, allowing the toy to be operated by a variety of alternative switches that could be plugged into the cable.
Over the past two years, there have been 28 toy repair and adaptation workshops.
