**Update: With 100 guests registered, the workshop is now full! Another workshop date for this toy has been added (Sunday, January 24th, 2027) and registration is now open. We hope to see you there!

🧸🎶 Join us for a Virtual Toy Adaptation Workshop!

Choose from several animal options (dog, cat, duck, dinosaur, elephant and more!) and learn how to make a plush light-up and musical toy switch accessible.

During this hands-on virtual workshop, we’ll walk you through the adaptation process step by step. No prior toy adaptation experience is needed! Bring your own switch, or learn how to make a DIY cardboard switch during the workshop. The full supplies & materials list is on the registration page.

We want everyone to be able to participate, so this workshop is pay what you can. If you’re able to contribute, your donation helps us continue making play more accessible. 💙

📣 It’s here—check out our new program for families!

While FairPlay has spent the past 5+ years making play more accessible by donating switch-adaptive toys and resources to schools, clinics, and other community settings, we’ve continued to hear from families that lack adaptive toys and switches in their homes.

🏡 Play should be readily accessible in all environments, including at home. The Family Play Access Program targets this gap, helping families apply for toys & switches directly.

At our last workshop, the best moment was seeing the toys come to life. 🌟

“Seeing everyone’s faces light up when their toys worked was such a special moment!” said Vanderbilt SLP graduate student Bella Blanchet. “I’ve worked with children during my clinical experiences that utilized switch-operated toys, so to learn how expensive the toys can be was a shock for sure. On the bright side, though, it was also a shock to learn just how easy it is to modify toys!”

The purpose of the workshop was twofold: to educate future clinicians about assistive technology and the importance of accessible play, and also to adapt toys for FairPlay’s annual holiday season toy donations.

“Learning to adapt accessible toys is not only a way to give back but also a valuable skill for future clinicians who wish to work in pediatrics,” shared FairPlay instructor Emily Wolfram Mathis, M.S., CCC-SLP.

So many thanks to for welcoming us to lead this workshop, and for generously donating the completed toys to FairPlay’s accessible play programs. 🩷
