Synshiana’s New Chair I Blog Post

So, when the team at Adaptive Design set out to build a custom chair for this vibrant 12-year-old, there was only one color for the job.Synshiana is a student at PS 138M, and while her personality is bright, her standard wheelchair was creating a literal barrier.

How To | Line it like a Pro | Edging Tactile Cards
Have you ever wondered how to make your own communication cards? At the Adaptive Design Association, we create communication cards, also called tangibles or tactile symbols. Communication cards are tactile representations of activities, objects, places, events, concepts or people and are used for expressive and receptive communication. They are usually made of whole objects or parts of objects attached to a background card. Cards are made using triple-ply cardboard, cut 6" x 4", edged, painted, embedded with an object and finally labeled. Here is a demonstration of edging communication cards with masking tape. Learn more about communication cards at Adaptive Design: https://www.adaptivedesign.org/communicationcards Learn more and download a manual here: https://www.aph.org/product/stacs-standardized-tactile-augmentative-communication-symbols-kit/ Thank you, Cori, for sharing your excellent edging skills.
