Adaptive Equipment

We believe that it is important that each child be able to access their local environment, communicate in an effective manner and be empowered to dream big. This begins by helping each child find resources and equipment that will help assist them. We work alongside our Community Based Rehabilitation Worker, a local Physical Therapist and other professionals to ensure we create and/or purchase the perfect equipment for each of our children. 

This project is tricky and takes a great deal of time. It isn’t as easy as buying something off the shelf that will help one of our children. 

Due to the complex and varied needs of our Sunflowers, each child must be assessed by the proper professionals, measured and fitted for their equipment and a custom piece is built for each child. Some of our Sunflowers need multiple devices just to do some simple morning routine tasks. 

This is our biggest challenge yet, but we are excited for what these resources can do for our children and their quality of life.
