We took a field trip to Adaptive Design Association in midtown Manhattan. They fabricate adaptive accessories — mostly made out of cardboard — for anyone that needs support. Plus “cue cards” for the blind. For free!

Here are some photos from the trip.

3D Printed Cards for DD

We visited a shop that made concept and object indicators out of cardboard (plus whatever the actual object was). These clever cards can be used as prompts, as labels for storage bins, for the visually impaired, for the developmentally disabled, etc.

It would be cool to 3D print them, although they would have to be hand-painted afterwards.
