Access Granted: Dads, Disabilities, and Tearing Down Gatekeepers with AdaptedDesign

Challenges with accessibility can come in many different forms. One of the most frustrating challenges parents can face with accessibility is the outrageous cost that comes with finding adapted toys or other functional items. There's almost a gatekeeping-mentality around those who offer switch adapted products, which allows them to charge exuberant prices. We sit down with Greg from AdaptedDesign to talk about the frustrations he faced when trying to find adapted and functional products for his daughter. This frustration drove him to learn how to switch adapt products on his own. He now offers his services at extremely reasonable cost so that all families can grant their children the joy and happiness that comes with using a switch-adapted product! Greg also discusses the lack of representation and community for fathers of disabled children, and how he turned to creating memes to help bring comic relief to those who felt the same isolation.
