Assistive Technology (AT) Services, a program of Signal Centers, is dedicated to eliminating barriers for clients by helping them navigate a tech-driven world as independently as possible. Assistive technology is any tool used to increase independence or improve quality of life for people who have a disability. 

On the last Monday of each month, we welcome volunteers to our Adapt-a-Toy Mondays!

Volunteers will learn and assist in modifying toys to make them more accessible for children, particularly those living with a disability. This includes adjusting the size, shape, or functionality of the toy to accommodate the individual’s needs.  

AT Services can provide a list of toys appropriate for toy adaptation; if volunteers can bring a toy to adapt and donate to AT Services, that would be greatly appreciated!

Upcoming Sessions: June 29th, July 27th, August 31st, September 28th, October 26th, November 20th, and December 28th

Recommended Volunteer Group Size: 10 volunteers

This year's theme is Junior Chef AACademy, so get ready to chop, bake, and mix up some fun while our campers discover new ways to communicate! 

Chatter Camp will run from June 1st - 5th: 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. 

We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to join the adventure! Volunteers will lead activities, engage in play, and support campers in using their AAC devices throughout the day. Each day includes a variety of fun experiences such as art, cooking, literacy activities, outdoor time, and special surprise guests.

The ultimate goal of Chatter Camp is to create a safe, supportive space where campers can build and practice social skills. Volunteers should be able to balance high energy and fun with patience, understanding, and kindness.

Volunteers should bring a basic understanding of, and genuine empathy for, working with children and teens with disabilities. While prior experience is preferred, it is not required.
