Landing page captured for the 2026-09-25 issue.
For
People adapting to a walker, wheelchair, or cane
Worth noticing
The intake asks which mobility aid someone uses and says no design, measurements, or technical terminology are needed to start.

Field notes

The intake begins with a mobility aid choice—walker, wheelchair, cane, or something else—and asks what task would be easier, rather than requiring a design brief. The described workflow includes discussing equipment fit and trying a print with the recipient when the team can help. The initiative says it is a small Chicago team, and notes that timing and service area are reviewed before confirming an idea.
