Assistive and Instructional Technology Lab

Adapted toys and games follow the universal design idea to ensure all children can play easily. They feature simple switches (e.g., external switchers), sensory feedback, toys with both brails and texts (e.g., Monopoly with brails), and multiple interaction methods to promote independent exploration and inclusive play. Every child can enjoy and develop essential skills.

These are some examples of adapted toys.

Board Games with Braille
Popular board games such as Scrabble and Monopoly can incorporate Braille alongside regular text. This approach allows people with and without visual impairments to enjoy playing together.

Sensory-Stimulating Toys
Some adapted toys provide sensory stimulation to engage young children’s attention. For example, toys with buttons that trigger different sounds or light, or toys offering varied tactile experiences to encourage exploration and interaction.
