We are the only organization that both builds custom assistive equipment (adaptations) using easily-accessible materials like cardboard and wood, and teaches community partners how to do so. Recent examples include a sleek custom wood recliner for Danna, a 12 y-o with cerebral palsy,so she can relax when she needs to take a break from the upright position her wheelchair supports, and a sturdy pink stander for Bella, a 2-y-o with hypotonia, so she can strengthen her muscles, get on her feet, and do it all while tapping out a tune on the piano. Most environments are not built with accessibility in mind, and there are children in every community who can use custom adaptations to overcome environmental restrictions. Parents, therapists, or teachers of children with disabilities run into these common barriers - the device is unavailable in a catalog, will reach the child too late, or insurance will not cover it. They reach out to us when they see a barrier to participation and require that intervention quickly. Often, we are their only recourse. Our adaptations are designed and fabricated collaboratively with the client in response to their unique needs, and create an immediate change in experience. None of the adaptations for use in homes are paid for by clients, and we rely on donations and grants to support this program. We serve 80-100 clients annually, creating up to 200 components of varying degrees of complexity. We also create an average of 8,000+ standardized communication cards for the visually impaired annually, fulfilling orders from the American Printing House for the Blind. Every fabrication activity doubles as a teaching-learning opportunity. As we create critical custom solutions for people with disabilities, we involve marginalized, often-overlooked populations in creating these items, providing much-need transition skills learning opportunities. We have educational programs for youth with autism, people with disabilities, community members,and youth involved in the criminal justice system. We serve 50-60 community members via these programs, and reach an additional 1,500 through awareness building and community engagement events. 545626 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false NY X JENNIFER HERCMAN 2129041200 313 WEST 36TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10018 CAROLE GORDON DIRECTOR/CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 TRACY EHRLICH DIRECTOR/VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ZACH CLEM DIRECTOR/TREASURER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIANNE PETIT DIRECTOR/SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY GOLDMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RONNIE ELDRIDGE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER HERCMAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 81996 0 20037 LAURA TAUB DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH MASON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA YOKANA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 81996 0 20037 false false false 48000 575100 24500 623100 PROGRAM SERVICES 541900 325297 0 0 325297 948397 325297 0 0 101370 60822 20274 20274 316552 261531 29588 25433 39794 30694 4748 4352 33535 25866 4001 3668 23293 17966 2779 2548 66749 51485 7964 7300 2262 1745 270 247 643 496 77 70 8655 6676 1033 946 14037 10827 1675 1535 PROFESSIONAL FEES 26162 0 21078 5084 WORKSHOP SUPPLIES & EXPENSES 38604 38604 0 0 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 10661 8223 1272 1166 TELEPHONE 2672 2061 319 292 31453 28630 2238 585 716442 545626 97316 73500 16279 26054 222687 382273 26357 60716 2306 0 193704 163747 30363 29957 9000 387619 306992 886619 45368 8809 0 384231 45368 393040 X 236032 265523 25592 228056 261624 493579 306992 886619 231955 X false true X true false X 0 644784 661894 246883 472805 623100 2649466 0 0 644784 661894 246883 472805 623100 2649466 326119 2323347 0 0 0 2649466 0.87690 0.99990 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 70298 70137 161 123406 93610 29796 29957 SECURITY DEPOSIT 9000 OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 378619 387619 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 384231 384231 X 953597 5200 5200 948397 948397 721642 5200 5200 716442 716442 Pt X, Line 2 FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE: Pt X, Line 2 THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL TAXES UNDER Pt X, Line 2 SECTION 501(c)(3) OF THE U.S.INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND Pt X, Line 2 FROM STATE AND LOCAL TAXES UNDER COMPARABLE LAWS.
