In December, the CU engineering department loaned us some of their best and brightest minds to build an adaptive device for Wesley (pictured in the white shirt) and his Charles Family SmartHome housemates. This device features a simple switch adapter that allows Wesley, Shelly, and Toby to play a wheel of fortune based game along with up to 3 other players! It also plays music that can be chosen by Wesley!
Here’s a video of the students explaining their project.

The device was created as part of a project in Professor Melinda Piket-May’s class. Professor Piket-May has had her students create projects for Imagine! clients for more than four years now, with great success. Students in her Spring 2014 semester class are just beginning to work on their projects, and we can’t wait to see what they create to help improve the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities.
