HuskyAdapt is a student-run group that is dedicated to supporting accessible design and inclusive play technology.
We train the next generation of inclusively-minded engineers, clinicians, and educators to help make the world a more equitable place.

HuskyADAPT programs and teams

The Toy Adaptation program organizes events and workshops, certifies Lead Toy Adapters, and adapts toys and books.

The Design Team co-hosts hackathons that focus on switch-adapted toys and adaptation requests submitted by community members. At maker events, participants adapt books for local schools and families.

UW GoBabyGo! volunteers help modify battery operated ride-on cars to provide mobility and socialization for children with limited motor function.

Instructional Systems is HuskyADAPT’s newest branch! Students interested in technical writing, UI/UX, information access, and community-rooted work are invited to participate. Learn more about the program (video starts at 9:11).
