The West Park Healthcare Centre in Toronto is one of seven GAME Checkpoints, a network of partner organizations led by Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program that help people with disabilities access adaptive gaming.
At HDR, an architecture and engineering firm with offices across Canada and the world, giving back to the community is an important part of their company culture. So when their Toronto office learned of an opportunity to adapt toys for children with disabilities as part of the #HackingForTheHolidays campaign by Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program, they jumped at the opportunity.
We’ve hit a huge milestone — with the help of our volunteers, our community, and our supporters, we’ve built 10,000 assistive devices for people with disabilities.
On October 12th, Neil Squire, the Canadian leader in assistive technology, and their Makers Making Change initiative, officially marked 10,000 assistive devices made for persons with disabilities at a build event hosted in partnership with Full Circle™, an Electronic Arts video game development studio.
Today we are joined by Ainsley Congdon. Ainsley has worked at the Learning Disabilities Association of New Brunswick in many capacities since 2017 and has been the executive director of the organization since 2019.
