Hi everyone—I'm reaching out in hopes of finding someone in this amazing community who might be willing to help us design a custom 3D-printable adaptive device for a student.

I’m a PreK special educator working with a kindergarten student, “E,” who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy called Pelizaeus-Merzbacher leukodystrophy (a genetic condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, leading to challenges with muscle control, coordination, and movement).

We’re hoping to wwe女子 a combined Chromebook sleeve/keyguard/wedge for his device (model N20Q10) that would support greater independence and access to learning and communication. The idea includes:

• A wedge to angle the keyboard so he can better see the keys

• A keyguard to help isolate individual keys

• A protective sleeve with a keypad blocker to reduce unintended key presses due to uncontrolled movements

Our goal is simple but meaningful: give E more independence, improve his ability to communicate, and help him more fully access his education.

We do have access to a 3D printer, but we need help with designing and creating the model file. I’ll attach a visual to help illustrate what we’re envisioning.

If anyone is willing to collaborate or even point us in the right direction, we would be incredibly grateful. This could make a huge difference for a really special kid.

Thank you so much 💛

Hi! I don't know much about Apple laptops (Macbooks), but what I would recommend is (if it is possible) to install custom drivers/firmwares or configure the current ones:

• Most laptops allow you to disable the touchpad completely

• With the right firmware you can also disable parts of the keyboard or remap it to a different action, write macros, etc...

About 3D printing the parts: I found these that might give a good starting point for what you need:

(Also, it would be helpful if you could share the build volume of your printer, so people can take that into consideration)

I wish you the best and hope you will achieve your goals!
