Tuesday: August 2, 2016
Therese Willkomm, Ph.D, ATP


Assistive Technology can be reused, repurposed and recycled. In this election year, there are an abundance of election signs. This hands-on session will explore 101 assistive technology solutions you can make with discarded election signs. Participants will utilize a Coro-Claw, utility knife, ruler, scissors and a paper cutter along with double-sided permanent foam mounting tape, corner guard and VHB tape to fabricate the following items: a pocket Eileen, a QR code scanner holder, a hands free document holder, a book holder, a laptop holder, a multi use spring clip and resting shelf, stoppers, a UMount, tracks, and multi use feet.
