Children’s Assistive Technology Service (C.A.T.S.) partnered with Radford University on November 9, 2026, for a successful Kids Equipment Palooza, helping children with disabilities access adaptive equipment at zero cost to their families.
Radford University physical therapy students and faculty worked with children and caregivers to fit equipment to each child’s needs. These individual fittings gave families the opportunity to discuss how the equipment would support their child at home, at school, and in the community.
The event also provided valuable hands-on learning for future physical therapists. Working alongside faculty, students gained experience fitting adaptive equipment and learning directly from families about their children’s daily routines, abilities, and goals.
For C.A.T.S., partnerships like this help extend access to equipment that supports mobility, independence, and participation. Bringing families, students, and experienced professionals together helps children get more from the equipment they receive.
C.A.T.S. thanks Radford University’s students and faculty for sharing their time, skills, and care, and every family who joined us for the November 9 Palooza. Together, we’re helping more children across Virginia access the assistive technology they need to move, play, and participate fully in life.
