Adaptive Toy Drive

This project is a partnership between TechOWL, Temple University student organization TemPO, Franklin Institute, and local disability service providers.

You can participate by:

Donating a toy! We’re collecting toys that move, light up, or make music. Find your organization’s wishlist below.

Attending a virtual workshop! We’re learning how to adapt these toys for children who use switches.
