City of Kingston – Municipal Government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we continue to recognize the 2022 recipients of the Celebrating Accessibility Awards, including Claire Davies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing assistive technology to increase independence for persons with disabilities is at the heart of Claire\u2019s research and teaching. The associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering at Queen\u2019s University works collaboratively with students and community members to design this technology, incorporating feedback from end-users to ensure it meets their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nominator Vera Kettnaker emphasizes the incredible impact of the work done by Claire and her students. \u201cThe devices they create are custom designed for each person\u2019s abilities and empower them to overcome a personal obstacle and to live more independently,\u201d Vera says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the technology includes rolling hand sanitizer, a portable foldable toilet seat, an adaptive holder for a video game controller, and clips for closing laced shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
