In partnership with the NAPA Center, ADAPT has hosted an annual Toy Adapting Workshop to help transform the lives of countless children. Over the course of 24 hours, dozens of dedicated engineers come together to design and construct innovative systems for donated toys, adapting them to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities. These modifications allow children who might otherwise struggle to interact with traditional toys to play freely and fully, unlocking moments of joy, discovery, and connection.
Witnessing the profound impact of this event year after year, ADAPT was inspired to dream bigger. This inspiration led to the creation of Toys‑For‑All, an ambitious engineering project aimed at providing these life-changing services year-round.
As Toys‑For‑All continues to evolve, the initiative’s early achievements have already brought moments of joy and independence to children and their families. These successes underscore the power of creative engineering, compassionate design, and collaborative effort to make a lasting difference.
