This year our goal is to donate 100 switch adapted toys to children in Colorado who need them. We are on a mission to make play more inclusive and accessible to children in our community. Due to various medical reasons not all children are able to play with regular store bought toys due to gross and fine motor development differences; these children benefit from toys that can be switch activated. For example, someone might use a button (or switch) that plugs into their toy, then use their head to press the button. This allows them to activate/control their toys and enjoy play just like other kids their age!
While there are several large manufacturers who make and sell switch adapted toys, these toys can cost families hundreds of dollars. It is our hope that this toy drive can provide children in Colorado with accesible toys for FREE.
If you would like to purchase/donate a toy, you can do so by clicking this link to our Amazon Wish List. Once we receive your donation we will switch adapt the toy so it can be given to a child in our community at our big event in December.
We want to thank Developmental Pathways and other community members for helping us make this possible!
