Beyond what we build

More free resources for kids.

Built For Them focuses on wood and plywood builds. These organizations offer free plans and devices we don't make ourselves - 3D-printed assistive tech, switch access tools, adaptive gaming, and more.

A note: these are independent organizations Built For Them doesn't run, build for, or vouch for beyond a basic review. Confirm licensing, fit, and safety directly with each source, and loop in your child's OT or PT for anything related to positioning, mobility, or medical use.
