MonTECH meeting of the minds. 😎 We are extremely proud to offer Montanans with disabilities access to SoundBeam, a super cool adaptive-music system. Stay tuned for a demo but don't hold your breath - this is going to take us a minute.

Our thanks to Adrian, the ridiculously talented SoundBeam rep who has kindly zoomed in twice from the UK to teach us the features of this astonishing system. You can learn more about SoundBeam here: https://www.soundbeam.co.uk/

"Switch adapted toys don’t make play different. They make play possible." Preach! Adapted4U is a new switch-adapted toy company based in Montana, making unique toys. Take a look at their current inventory! https://adapted4u.mayhem.my/

Switch adapted toys don’t make play different.
They make play possible.

Most people think they’re “just modified toys.”

They’re not.

They’re access.

When someone can’t press a tiny factory button but can activate a large switch with their hand, head, foot, or elbow — that moment of control changes everything.

Cause and effect.
Choice.
Independence.
Confidence.

If you’ve ever seen someone light up the first time they independently activate a toy, you know exactly what I mean.

Attention disabled nondrivers in Montana (and friends, families, and advocates)! Anna Zivarts is coming to Missoula February 19th, 6:30-8:30, to speak at Free Cycles Streetside Learning Center. She's the author of "When Driving Isn't an Option" and a national advocate for transportation for people with disabilities.

Can't make it in person (maybe because you don't drive...)? Disability Rights Montana has you covered with a Non-Driver Playlist on their YouTube channel (link below). Get informed about this important topic. Transportation challenges negatively impact the lives (and employability) of hundreds of Montanans every day.

Thanks to David Carlson, Executive Director of DRM, for sharing and promoting this important event. Learn more here: https://www.sightline.org/when-driving-is-not-an-option-steering-away-from-car-dependency/
