U of L students invent adaptive tools to help people with disabilities
Imagine someone without arms (or range of motion) being able to kayak, or hold cards or even roll a dice during a board game. What seems small and insignificant to many of us, could mean a world of difference in the quality of someone’s life. And it could be a reality with the invention of adaptive tools designed specifically for people with disabilities.
Host Jeannette Rocher is joined by University of Lethbridge students Lyndsay Stevenot and Carlie Hudson (recipients of the Adaptive Technology RBC Award), and Kevin Roelofs, Innovation Zone coordinator in the Adaptive Technology program at the U of L.
The trio explain the inventions (adaptive tools) they’re working on to help enhance the lives of people living with disabilities.
