Learning labs provide experienced people an opportunity to further their existing knowledge of adaptive design and cardboard construction.  You build skills through constructing complex user-specific adaptations for clients on your caseload (therapists) or people in your life who require adaptations. 
Learning Labs are offered only to those who have successfully completed the 3-day course sequence:  <A HREF="http://www.adaptivedesign.org/#!classes/c8py" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Adaptive Devices: Made to Fit</A>. Those basic courses introduce participants to best practices needed for intervention, including assessment, planning, and construction of basic user-specific adaptations. Throughout, participants will have access to Adaptive Design's resources:  our workshop, our tools and materials, and most important, the expertise of our staff designers and fabricators. 
A participant’s readiness for a learning lab is assessed by the instructor at the conclusion of the 3-day course sequence.  Your first learning lab should be scheduled within a year or less after completing the basic courses.  In advance of the course date, the participant must: select a client, envision an adaptation, and send it to us with sketches and measurements. Approval is based on the participant's known skill level. We will provide an estimate of how long it will take to build.  Labs are individually scheduled as needed.  You may register for 1, 2, or more days, as needed to complete your desired project(s). 
IMPORTANT:  Before registering here on EventBrite, please contact ADA (susan@adaptivedesign.org or 212/904-1200) to review your proposed project, confirm your prior courses and choose a date or dates that work for you and our staff.
