This week in class we spent the first half of the session at the OT school. We watched a video produced by Anita and Marianne Petit about a woman living with a disabling condition that affects her hands. We talked about how much she was actually able to accomplish, given her condition, even though she has no use of her hands. We also spent some time trying to navigate in wheelchairs to the vending machines and bathrooms of the OT building, to get a sense of how accessible, or inaccessible the space is.
The second half of the class was spent at ITP doing a lab. We used mono jacks, a battery interrupt and switch enabled device to look at creating adaptive switches and making them modular.
