PlayACCESS by Corso SMART Lab: Where Learning, Design, and Play Connect
PlayACCESS by Corso SMART Lab is dedicated to ensuring that individuals of all ages can participate in meaningful, inclusive play. Through the adaptation of toys, use of accessible switches, and hands-on, student-led training, PlayACCESS promotes universal design, communication access, and participation across educational, clinical, and community settings. This initiative combines assistive technology, experiential learning, and community engagement to create permanent, accessible play solutions that support independence, joy, and connection.
Donation Drive Coming Soon!
We’re preparing an Equipment Donation Drive to support hands-on learning in accessible and inclusive play.
Students will use donated toys and equipment to design and create permanent, adapted solutions that promote access to play for individuals of all ages and abilities.
Check back soon for ways to donate items such as card shufflers, baseball pitching machines, interactive singing plush toys, and more—helping transform everyday play into universally accessible experiences.
A Rosie Place Donation.
In Spring 2025, PlayACCESS by Corso SMART Lab partnered with the Saint Mary’s College NSSLHA organization to collect donations and adapt toys for individuals with access and communication needs. Toy modifications were completed during a hands-on build day in the Saint Mary’s College SPARK Lab (Maker Space), and the adapted toys were donated to A Rosie’s Place in South Bend, Indiana.
