FairPlay is a 501(c)(3) organization that strives to make play accessible and affordable for all children, including kids with disabilities who may not be able to play with toys as they come off-the-shelf.
Our team is working to build a national library system that allows children with physical disabilities to enjoy the benefits of playing with a broad selection of adapted toys.
Though toy adaptation is simple and inexpensive, market prices of adapted toys can be 3-5x that of normal toys, placing additional financial burden on families already navigating inordinate care-related costs. Given children’s quickly changing interests and these high costs, children with disabilities tend not to have adequate access to play.
Our solution to this inequity is a lending library system. We run workshops focused on toy adaptation and accessibility, create adapted toy libraries in community spaces, and provide educational resources for the communities we serve. Your support helps us work towards our mission.
