Making fun accessible for all.

Toy Adapting Directory
The mission of MaxMods is to make the world accessible for all, and through our Santa's Little Hackers program, we make fun accessible for all. Over the years, we have connected with other organizations who also adapt toys, and we want to offer this space as a resource.
This directory is designed to help families, caregivers, and therapists discover more places to find adapted toys and learn about the growing community dedicated to accessible play.
