Adapted Toy - Daniel Tiger

Adapted Toy - Daniel Tiger - open-source assistive technology concept by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

This is a basic toy adaptation to allow for traditional and alternative operation of a commercially available toy.

Who it helps

Allegheny Intermediate Unit is part of the 412AbilityTech Ecosystem and is contributing this project as part of that partnership. This is an easy project for toy adaptation events and emerging makers.

How it works

This adaptation will allow for adaptive switch use while maintaining the traditional, designed operation of the toy.

This is a basic toy adaptation that adapts the Jakks Pacific Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Talking Plush Soft & Cuddly Stuffed Toy (https://a.co/d/fqioRLN) for use with a 3.5mm switch connection.
