Our guiding vision at Neil Squire is to achieve economic and social inclusiveness for all people with disabilities. To support this vision, Makers Making Change leverages the capacity of community based Makers, Disability Professionals and Volunteers to develop and deliver affordable Open Source Assistive Technologies. There is an untapped potential in the maker community that can positively impact the lives of people with disabilities. Makers Making Change offers a platform for makers (engineers, hobbyists, students, corporations, etc.) to volunteer their time to make an access solution from our projects library. People with disabilities, their family members, or disability professionals can request a project that they feel will help address a person’s barriers. Designs can be freely download and skilled volunteers in your community can work with the recipient in ensuring the project meets their needs. Our platform enables everyone to publish and share open-source assistive technology designs, made both by our organization and other makers. People can share access challenges, solutions, and review existing projects. |
