Switch-Adapted Bluey

The challenge

The challenge was to adapt a Bluey plush toy to be operated by an external button switch.

Who it helps

Duquesne University hosted a switch-adapted toy drive during which they partnered with multiple locations around Pittsburgh (The Watson Institute, Children's Institute, Allegheny Intermediate Unit) to collect toys to be switch-adapted and given back by Duquesne students and community members. This Bluey plush toy was provided by the one of these locations to be given to an individual with a disability who requires a larger external switch to activate the toy.
