🎨 Last week, we shared Bernadette’s story and the custom easel designed to support the way she creates. Now, you can see that solution in action.

In this video, Bernadette shows how the adjustable easel works and how a practical design can make painting more comfortable, accessible and independent. 💙

Sometimes, the real impact of good design is best understood when you see it being used. ✨

🚜🔧 MOUNT GAMBIER - YOUR SKILLS CAN HELP CHANGE A LIFE?

For almost 50 years, TADSA has been creating custom equipment and practical solutions for people living with disability when commercial products fall short.

Now, we're expanding into Mount Gambier and the Limestone Coast, and we're looking for local technical volunteers to help us make a difference in regional communities.

Whether you're an engineer, tradesperson, technician, fabricator, designer, maker, or simply someone who enjoys solving practical problems, your skills could help create greater independence, confidence and opportunity for people in your community.

Every TADSA project is unique. From modifying existing equipment to designing completely bespoke solutions, our volunteers use innovation, creativity and practical expertise to help people participate more fully in everyday life.

🎪 Come and Meet Us at the Mount Gambier Show!

TADSA will be attending the Mount Gambier Show, and we'd love you to stop by for a chat.

Meet some of our current technical volunteers, hear about the incredible projects they've worked on, and learn how your skills could be used to create life-changing solutions for people living with disability.

No obligation, no pressure, just an opportunity to learn more about what we do and how our volunteers are helping turn challenges into possibilities.

✅ Meet our volunteer team
✅ Learn how TADSA volunteering works
✅ See examples of custom solutions

If you've ever wanted to use your technical skills for a purpose that truly matters, come and say hello.

A bike ride can mean so much more than movement. For this rider, challenges with balance, postural control, steering, braking and foot positioning made a standard bicycle unsafe to use.

Through Freedom Wheels, TADSA adapted a 16” pink fixed wheel bike with heavy duty outriggers, an 8” sprung seat, backrest with belt, rear attendant steering with hand brake, toeclips with heel straps and toe leveller, and thorn resistant tubes with sealant. Together, these adaptations created a safer, more supported way to take part in cycling.

Because the right equipment does more than solve a practical problem, it opens the door to participation, connection and joy. 🚲💙

Zach does his best switching when he is comfortably supported in his gravity chair.

💙 The challenge was that there was nowhere secure to mount his switches, so they could move out of position or needed to be constantly adjusted by a caregiver.

TADSA created a customised, free-standing switch support that can be adjusted to the right height, angle and distance for Zach. 🛠️ This means he can stay comfortable while having more consistent access to play, communication and learning activities. ✨

🎨 Creating art should be about expression, not adapting to equipment that was never designed for you.

Bernadette paints with her feet and her mouth. Standard easels could not lower the canvas enough for comfortable foot painting or raise it high enough for mouth painting. TADSA designed a custom height-adjustable easel that allows her to move between both positions more easily, with greater comfort and independence. 💙

A simple mechanical solution can have a profound impact on independence. Good engineering is not only about solving technical problems. It is about removing barriers and creating new possibilities. ✨
