The Washington Post introduces us to a couple of retired engineers who volunteer in schools serving children with disabilities, where they repair wheelchairs and other equipment. They also design and build low-cost assistive technology solutions for the students, demonstrating the kind of home-spun ingenuity that most families of people with disabilities practice on a daily basis. The men describe their initial discomfort working with children with disabilities and how they eventually came to love what they do. It’s a sweet story.
