Tetra and SCYP strengthen collaborations

The Tetra Society of North America, a volunteer-based organization that creates simple assistive devices and adaptations for people with disabilities, is collaborating closely with SCYP and the ATRC in order to increase its capacity and quality of services in the GTA.

As part of this collaboration, Tetra has established a student representative position, which was filled recently by William Li, an outstanding 4th year Engineering Science student. We hope this partnership will provide lots of experiential learning opportunities to UofT students, who will be able to assist Tetra volunteers in the solution of inclusive design challenges in real contexts. At the same time, students with disabilities at UofT may be benefitted by Tetra's on-campus prescence. If you are interested in working with us or have a request to make, please don't hesitate to contact us!
