Rachel Monfredo, a lecturer and senior technical associate with the Department of Chemical Engineering, is leading a student initiative in adapting interactive toys for children with limited mobility, based on a similar program at Ohio State University. At their first workshop the students worked on backward-engineering the toys' circuitry, rewiring the toys so that they could be operated with switch to make it easier to activate them from a distance.

The toys are being adapted so that they can function natively or with the adaptive switch. These students are then planning on training other interested members of the University community in adapting the toys, which will be provided to therapists at Golisano Children's Hospital, and ultimately, to the families themselves.
