Well, i don't know how to begin but I think that I should write something about it. 

The idea is not mine but here in Shanghai we did some workshops to modify toys in a way that kids with disabilities can use them. For example we modified remote controls for RC toys with huge buttons, so kids with no hands or even no arms can press those huge buttons and make the RC toy moving.

DIYAbility is the central website for that kind of projects and we just do some of these workshops here in Shanghai. (please check the website for some pictures to get an idea about what i am trying to explain)

Right now I am helping them to create a instructional video and a PDF. 

My request here is that you share your ideas about what you think could be build or modified to give these kids something they can play with or even hack the toys by themselves. Any idea which can be done in a workshop for non-experts are welcome.
