Hands on Series 2026
Living Without Limits hosted a module within the Tech Tools for Life Hands on Series 2026! We were very excited to be a part of this collaborative series hosted by the CT Tech Act Project and Tech Tools for Life. On February 12, 2026, participants joined us for an interactive, hands-on assistive technology event designed to showcase cooking safety and navigation for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Participants were assigned a “disability” and chose a dish to cook, then guided through various cooking stations with assistive technologies, tools, and instructions to discover solutions that make cooking accessible for all.
