Makers Making Change - Disability Needs Survey
This survey is to inform the rollout and development of the Makers Making Change project, a Neil Squire Society program. We are interested in addressing the needs of the community as we move forward with the project.

Makers Making Change is a new initiative that connects makers to people with disabilities who need assistive technologies. It has a list of open source hardware projects that can be reviewed by Occupational Therapists and other disability professionals, downloaded freely, and made by makers / engineers / tinkerers in their community. It also provides a way to connect makers to people that need assistive technology to make access solutions.
