Occupational Therapy Toy Drive Donation Collection

The occupational therapy students are adapting toys this year to envision the ways that assistive technology facilitates participation, independence, and autonomy. We could use your help collecting toys for this project! The toys do need to be battery-operated or pluggable and they cannot be stuffed. Think trains, robots, and interactive busy boards! If you or your family has a plethora of forgotten battery-operated toys, please consider bringing some to donate. We are collecting donations in Weyerhaeuser Hall 204 during the month of November!
