Makers Making Change Makers Making Change connects people with disabilities to volunteer makers to create low cost assist Makers Making Change is helping bridge that gap.

80% of people with disabilities use an assistive device and 27% are at least one device short, often citing cost as a barrier. We offer a platform for device users and disability professionals to collaborate with volunteer makers to build solutions that meet their needs. All assistive devices in our library are free to access and curated. Browse through a wide variety of devices like simple bottle key turners to high-tech options like sip and puff mouse.

We're excited to announce that Erin LeBlanc, AT Specialist and Strategic Collaboration Lead, has been named a guest speaker for AT Exchange Canada on Tuesday, October 27th at the Tech Collider at the BCIT Downtown Campus in Vancouver. Our Solutions and Digital Literacy teams will also be onsite as exhibitors.

The AT Exchange, hosted by TechEdology, is an event focused on advancing the adoption of assistive technologies that empower individuals with disabilities and neuro differences. In bringing the AT community together, we will create an environment for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and innovative solutions.

Erin’s session, “Neil Squire: National Expertise, Local Impact, Trusted Partnerships” will shine a light on the importance of connecting people with the right technology, services and support at the right time.

From education and employment to independent living, Erin will explore how Neil Squire Society supports Canadians with disabilities through:

- Vendor-neutral assistive technology assessments
- Employment support
- Digital skills training
- Makers Making Change
- Hearing health services
- Research and innovation

The session will also look at the practical realities of accessing AT - including funding, accommodations and the services available to help individuals achieve their goals. Because finding the right assistive technology is just one part of the journey. Knowing where to turn for support can make all the difference.

Attendance is free, and lunch and refreshments will be provided.
