| EXAMPLE: DISABLED LIVING CENTRE, ENGLAND

Building independence for

disabled persons

The Disabled Living Centre created

equipment demonstration areas for disabled

persons to experience assistive solutions.

In home settings and by reproducing public

settings such as airplane seating

participants safely gain skills. Critical

enablers included donated design software

and pro bono consulting from Autodesk

which reached the Disabled Living Centre

through the TechSoup Network..
