The IMPACT (Interdisciplinary, Mentorship, Practice, Applied, Community, Transformative) initiative collaboratively engages undergraduate and graduate students from various Faculties, McMaster alumni, healthcare partners, and real community clients to understand and address challenges experienced by people living with disabilities associated with the conditions of arthritis, cerebral palsy, dementia, expressive aphasia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and visual impairment related to diabetes. Students will learn and mobilize their applied and conceptual knowledge of science to collaboratively create customized devices that help real community clients with activities critical to their health to improve their quality of life.
