Tikkun Olam Global- Making for People with Disabilities

http://tomglobal.org/
We're a global movement of communities connecting makers, designers, developers and engineers with people with disabilities (aka - 'Need-Knowers') to develop technological solutions for everyday challenges. Designs are free and available for any user to adapt for their needs!

Local TOM Communities organize Makeathons and Developer Groups, bringing together Makers, engineers, designers, innovators, problem solvers and Need-Knowers (people with a deep understanding of specific disability challenge) to develop solutions for everyday challenges.

Public Exhibition: Community members document the solutions from the Make-A-thons on the Open Makers Market( http://tomglobal.org/tom-open-makers-market/ )
 making the designs available and free for users around the globe.
