Sensory Tray 2.0

The Need:

This project's goal was to create an easily attachable and detachable sensory tray with the ability to interchange various sensory items. The tray, by nature, had to be secure, as it was attached to a wheelchair. Preferably, this tray had to have the option to be adapted for various wheelchair systems to enable other users to use the tray.

The Solution:

We are designing sensory trays for various students that can be securely attached to their wheelchair tray or other flat surfaces. The tray should easily elevate at an inclined angle for better access. We will be clamping the tray onto the chair instead of using buckle straps. The sensory tray has various objects attached to it some being permanent and others interchangeable. The objects on the tray are be durable, so they do not wear down over time. Primary design challenges will include latching/clamping and tilting, as described above.
