Resources and Facilities

The most valuable resource to the success of the UNF Adaptive Toy Project is the passion,
creativity, and dedication of the students, the faculty, the community, and the
administration involved in the project. In addition to the human effort invested in this program, institutional support has
been secured through a UNF - Community-Based Transformational
Learning Opportunity (CBTLO) grant.
