Description In this interview, 2015 MacArthur Fellow Alex Truesdell, shares how her aunt’s experience as a special-needs adult inspired her work in adaptive design. Truesdell, founder of nonprofit Adaptive Design Association (ADA), develops low-tech, affordable tools and furniture, so children with disabilities can participate actively in their homes, schools, and communities. She believes that innovation is strengthened through collaboration, which is why she shares her methods through in-person classes, internships, how-to videos, and forthcoming online workshops. This resource is part of the MacArthur Fellows Program Collection.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
