Interesting visit to Apple Headquarters last week, had the opportunity to explore Apple accessibility features and potential with other professionals in Ed tech. Apparently photos were prohibited but I did get a good shot of the view from the meeting room!

Proud of @NeilSquireSoc @MakerMakeChange team in redesigning the LipSync. People with limited or no use of their hands now have a better, affordable solution to access digital devices. All released open-source, so anyone can buy the parts and assemble. @ISED_CA
Experience the future of accessibility with the #LipSync: a mouth-operated sip & puff joystick.
The new version of the LipSync features several exciting changes. Learn more: ow.ly/87Gw50QCiGj
Had a great time tinkering and talking assistive tech with an engaged group of educators at DDSB.
Grandview School and @MakerMakeChange had the opportunity to collaborate with the @DDSBInnovation team during the launch of a program where students can use the design process and 3D printing to create solutions to accessibility issues in their school and community.
Proud to once again spread the good word about @MakerMakeChange to the Ontario education community at this years @OntarioCec conference this weekend! Amazing community and amazing support for innovative and affordable assistive technology!
If you’re heading to the @OntarioCec special education conference in November, come by and check out our session on making assistive technology affordable. Hope to see you there!
Excited to represent @MakerMakeChange this morning at @asetOntario and share about my experiences with MMC as Durham Chapter Leader. #ASET2023
Great way to start off the morning at @asetOntario 2023 with a Keynote presentation from @spencer2thewest thank you for sharing your journey!
Today I setup and ran a test print on my new Bambu Lab P1P 3D Printer. This machine is beautiful and SUPER fast, this video is not sped up! Looking forward to putting it to good use on some assistive technology projects! @MakerMakeChange #switchitup
Had a great visit with @_JenniferRobb at the @ontariotech_u @steam3Dmakerlab this afternoon! Had the opportunity to chat about open source assistive technology and plan for a potential build event in collaboration with @MakerMakeChange.
It has been a privilege working with such an impactful leader, @SunstrumMa. I enjoyed working with you and @TheAIHub to bring the iPal robot to Grandview as well as sharing ideas as we planned and designed our school at the new @GrandviewKids! Best of luck Lorraine!
Today we bid farewell to @GrandviewKids CEO and friend of Campbell Children’s School, Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann. Over 12 years you have supported the growth of our school and we are so grateful! We wish you health, happiness and fulfillment on the next steps of your journey!
My ”Switch It Up” switch modification for the day, a Busy Ball Popper. Just a fun way to practice switch skills! This was a straight forward modification but there were so many screws! #switchitup

Another @MakerMakeChange switch mod from this weekend for a user in Woodbridge, Ontario. These little remote control cars are fun and since there’s two in a pack it’s a great opportunity for peer engagement!
