Teaming up to turn typical toys into adaptive toys

[KSTP-TV News, December 05, 2024] For more than a decade, Allina Health and Cummins Inc. have partnered to make sure children with mobility differences have access to free adaptive toys for the holiday season. They modify as many as 1,000 toys each year. After therapists from Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute distribute some of the toys to their patients, the rest are given to children in the community. KSTP-TV News captured the magic of modifying the toys in the video below.
