Many children with cerebral palsy experience barriers to independent play due to physical limitations. Switch adapted toys—modified to work with accessible switches like jelly bean buttons—are helpful, but they can be costly and hard to come by.
That’s where our Switch Adapted Toy Workshop comes in.
Whether you’re a caregiver or a therapist, this free, in-person workshop will give you the skills and confidence to safely transform off-the-shelf battery-operated toys into switch accessible ones – right in your own home or clinic.
Participants will learn:
All equipment and support will be provided by Cerebral Palsy Alliance and University of Sydney volunteers, making this a supportive and beginner-friendly environment.
