Designed by Dianne while she worked at AbleNet. It was based on an idea submitted by a Special Educator, and was licensed from him.
The All-Turn-It Spinner has been called an essential addition to every school’s assistive technology center. It has been cited in many articles and presentations, including Closing the Gap, as an essential tool for inclusion.
Everyone can play–together! With the touch of a switch a person with a disability can play most board or dice games.
