Switch Activated Toys! Removing the Barriers of Play!

Help me give my students adaptive switch toys to enhance their play and learning experiences!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kapella's classroom raised $549

This project is fully funded

My Project

For this project, I have chosen to include switch activated toys and switches. These items are for special education preschool students that have mobility or dexterity challenges. Many of the toys on the market for 3-5 years old children can be challenging for children who have delayed fine motor skills to play with.

With the toys in this project, I am able to remove all barriers and limitations of toys by allowing my students to access play by simply pressing a switch to activate and play with toys.

Please consider helping my students access toys and play in their learning environment.
