Grid
About this project
Olivia has a challenging time using her communication device on her iPad, by creating an anchor she is able to press icons with easier precision. This solution was first designed at TOM:Nazereth. We are excited to see the need for an affordable grid for iPad-based communication devices. Simple laser cutting and 15 minutes later, the iPads are easier to use.
The challenge
Stacy's children have challenges with fine motor skills and it can make using their iPad based communication devices challenges.
Who it helps
Stacy is a mother of three children, all born with Angelman Syndrome, they are all nonverbal and use communication devices to communicate, they are treated for seizures, and have a heightened sensitivity to different materials.
