Adaptive Design Association

Description

• MISSIONThe mission of the Adaptive Design Association (ADA) is to ensure that people with disabilities receive the custom adaptations they need to fulfill their developmental, social, academic, and vocational potential; and to instigate widespread replication by providing a full range of hands-on education, from basic introduction to rigorous apprenticeships, for people wanting to establish Adaptive Design Centers within their schools, organizations, and communities across the globe.VISIONADA envisions a day when Adaptive Design Centers are operating in communities, schools, and organizations everywhere; and when all people with disabilities are fully educated, employed, and valued, in every family, society, and country. VALUES AND PRACTICES* Challenge assumptions about disability.* Generate awareness that the majority of children and adults with disabilities need more adaptations than they currently receive.* Help teachers, therapists, and parents transform ideas into requests for child-specific adaptations through hands-on learning.* Contribute to skills training and job creation for US Veterans, the transitional workforce, and the unemployed.* Use the most affordable, safe, and durable building materials available, including triple-wall corrugated cardboard, wood, fabric, plastics, and electronics.* Advance the practical application of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM subjects).* Collaborate with colleges and universities to develop Adaptive Design courses and degree programs, for educators, clinicians, designers, and other related professions.* Encourage research studies on the impact user-specific adaptations have on those who use, those who request, and those who build them.* Coordinate information sharing through courses, articles, videos, and on-line programs, thus creating a thriving Association of adaptive design centers and adaptive design practitioners.
