  An extension of the Adaptive Design Greater Philadelphia Project, I taught OT 5123 which included a 3-month interdisciplinary collaboration between the schools of Occupational Therapy, Architecture and Contemporary Art to provide custom adaptions and equipment for students at HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy. In the year prior to being hired as an adjunct professor for the course, I helped design and coordinate the interdisciplinary and inter-organizational partnerships that made adding adaptive design to the existing curriculum possible. The course has resulted in the production of over 50 adaptations for students at the HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy. Show less Awarded a grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeves foundation to fund the Adaptive Design Greater Philadelphia Project and set out to provide at least 80 children (birth-6, with paralysis causing conditions) customized adaptations that promote early childhood development and overall inclusion. In 2 years, with an overwhelming amount of support from my 13 community partners, we built adaptive design into 6 separate university and high school curriculums, provided adaptive design training to over 150 individuals and produced over 100 adaptations for local children with paralysis causing conditions. The project received a great deal of recognition in its first year and was featured on WHYY, NPR, CBS3 and 6ABC. As momentum picked up, I led a 6-month effort to roll ADGP into its own non-profit with the hope of integrating parametric design software in order to streamline production.
