About

AdaptiveTech OT builds browser-based tools for children who use adapted access: eye gaze, joysticks, head mice, touch, and anything else that moves a cursor. Free to play while in beta.

Who's behind this

AdaptiveTech OT is run by an assistive technology occupational therapist approaching ten years in this space. Everything here is built around one question: what would I want for my own clients? Not a drill dressed up as a game. Something actually fun that happens to fit the way they access a screen.

It's built for those clients first, and for anyone else who's just looking to play.

Why this exists

Children who can't reliably press a button are locked out of most software made for kids. They can often move a pointer with their eyes, their head, a joystick, or a finger, but the "click" step at the end is the part that fails. So the game, the drawing app, or the activity simply doesn't work for them, and the barrier has nothing to do with what the child understands or wants to do.

Every tool here is built around that gap. Hovering replaces clicking. Targets are bigger than they look. Timing is slower than a typical game would allow. Nothing punishes a child for imprecision, because imprecision is the whole point of the audience.

How these tools are built

• Free to play during the beta. No account is needed to start playing, and nothing is behind a paywall today. AdaptiveTech OT will become a paid site once the beta wraps up. Right now, playing and telling us what works is the contribution that matters.
• No installation. Everything runs in a standard web browser, so it works on whatever device a clinic, school, or family already has.
• Tested against real constraints. The target hardware is a school Chromebook and an iPad, not a gaming PC.
• Accessibility rules come first. No flashing, no screen shake, generous hitboxes, reduced-motion support, and high-contrast options are non-negotiable design rules, not settings bolted on at the end.
• Honest about limits. Switch-access scanning isn't supported yet, and we say so rather than implying it works.

Privacy

These tools are used by children, and that shapes what gets collected. See the privacy page for details.
