Cornell Assitive Technologies

Our Mission & Goals
The mission of the Cornell Assistive Technologies Project Team (previously The Big Red Adaptive Play & Design Initiative) is to champion inclusivity by developing assistive technologies for people with disabilities and to raise awareness about the impact of adapted solutions and assistive technologies among youths and communities in Ithaca and beyond. The goals of this organization is to create an inclusive club purely dedicated to making assistive technologies more widely available for those who need them most in our local community.
