About Makers Making Change
Empowering people with disabilities since 1984
Our Mission
According to Statistics Canada, 80% of people living with a disability use an assistive device to increase their independence, and 27% need at least one more. Cost is often cited as the main barrier.
Volunteer-made assistive technology can help bridge the gap.
Neil Squire's Makers Making Change program connects people with disabilities to volunteers who can build affordable assistive technology. Our mission is to achieve economic and social inclusiveness for all people with disabilities.

Every dollar counts. Your support ensures that essential devices are delivered directly to those who need AT. A donation of $50 can purchase a toy and switch components, giving a child everything they need to play with a new toy this year.
