WHO WE HELP
We help anyone living with a disability in the Calgary area.
We accept requests from members of the public, teachers, caregivers, occupational therapists, and other non-profits on behalf of someone who could benefit from a custom assistive device. No medical referral is necessary. If it would help someone live more independently, play, work, or take part in daily activities — we want to hear about it.
