Santa's Little Hackers engages two distinct demographic groups in different ways.

First, the disability community. Published research and government studies estimate the percentage of U.S. students with disabilities to be 15% of national public school enrollment. Using the data from the National Center for Education Statistics, this brings the demographic scope to over 7.3 million students. Narrowing the demographic to only those individuals who require AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), the U.S demographic is 1.3% of the total U.S. population - over 4.28 million users, children and adults.

This community is impacted by the receipt of the switch-adapted toys and the awareness Santa's Little Hackers brings to other communities about the needs of this demographics. Tens of thousands of people have learned of switch-adapted toys and using computers to communicate because of these efforts.

Second, the "Maker Movement". According to Adweek, "the Maker Movement is the umbrella term for independent inventors, designers and tinkerers." This diverse group of talented people have untapped desire to use their skills to make a difference in the lives of other people.

This community is impacted by seeing their efforts directly affect those in need. A child will get a toy for the holidays to play with because someone took the care and time to adapt that toy to be accessible.

Because of the generous support of our donors and volunteers, each year we continue to reach a growing number of families across the world with adapted toys and engage hundreds of volunteers with interests in technology, the "Maker Movement", and utilizing their skills to help mankind.
