Just in time for the holidays!
Drop Off or Ship Your Toys to the SC Assistive Technology Program to be Switch-Adapted for Free from November 16th to December 11th, 2020.
If you have a child who can’t turn on toys, here is your chance to get a toy with an on/off switch adapted for free for your child.
Families, professionals and school staff are invited to ship or bring battery-operated toys to the SC Assistive Technology Resource Center to have the toys adapted for switch use. There is no fee for this! SC Assistive Technology Program staff will adapt your toy.
Generous donors have contributed a few extra toys for us to give out. If your circumstances make it difficult to afford a toy, please reach out to us about availability.
If you need a switch for your toy, we can make a switch for you and include it. Just ask!
