Desktop Desk Leveling The Playing Field On Disability

It’s amazing how leveling the playing field for someone with a disability sometimes means finding a new angle.
Desktop Desk does just that (among other things). The Desktop Desk can benefit individuals with disabilities on many different levels. It does the small things like helping provide individuals with hyperactive and autistic tendencies the means to focus and participate, while also providing students who can’t speak or who have limited motor skills the ability to more independently participate in classes and activities.
Developed by Rob Mayben, a Special Education Teacher in California who identified the need and the potential benefit of a lightweight and portable, easy to clean work or eating surface that can attach to most tables and create a large, stable, and functional writing surface that adjusts in elevations and angles while providing opportunities for categorization, organization, and independence.
The desktop desk is an adjustable activity center that can provide disabled individuals the ability to access and actively participate more equally in some of life’s everyday activities.
