At ADAPT Texas, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to play, explore, and grow. Our team of engineers and volunteers adapts and modifies devices to make them accessible for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that playtime and everyday activities are both fun and inclusive.

How It Works

1. Submit Your Request

Tell us what you need—whether it’s general resources on adaptive technology, a custom device (toy, ride-on car, prosthetic), information on accessibility advocacy, or connections with other families and support networks.

Select your request type and fill out the form with as much detail as you can. Start Your Request

2. Review & Categorize

Our team reviews each request and taps into campus resources: engineering students prototype custom builds and our peer mentors guide you through advocacy and community connections.

3. Tailored Response

Depending on your request, we’ll either assemble resource packets, begin prototyping your custom device, schedule an accessibility workshop, or introduce you to our family support network.

4. Delivery & Connection

You’ll receive your resources, your adapted device, or an invitation to join our community events: whatever fits your needs best.

5. Follow-Up & Feedback

We’ll check back in to ensure your solution works for you, offer troubleshooting or next-step resources, and gather your feedback to improve our program.

Specific Design Requests

We understand that every person is unique, and so are their needs. If you have a specific design request, we’d be more than happy to help.

  • Modifying existing toys to accommodate different mobility or sensory needs.
  • Creating custom-built solutions for highly specific requirements. Our teams develop adaptive vehicles, prosthetic limbs, and more—so most requests are within reach!
  • Feel free to discuss creative, personalized solutions to make sure the device is perfect for you or your child.

Project Timeline

  • Standard modifications typically take 1–2 semesters to complete.
  • More complex requests may require additional time for design, testing, and refinement.
  • If you need something sooner, we can dedicate a team and volunteers to prioritize your project.
