Envisioning Access, formerly known as Helping Hands Monkey Helpers, is a Boston-based organization that has been providing assistance and support to individuals living with physical disabilities for over forty years. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life and opportunities for those with mobility impairments by exploring and advancing innovative technologies, such as assistive robotics and augmented virtual reality.
With a rich history of training capuchin monkeys to provide in-home assistance, Envisioning Access is now transitioning from a service animal model to becoming a leading organization in the disability community. They aim to collaborate with technology partners to develop solutions that address socialization, mental health, and other needs of individuals with physical disabilities, ultimately improving their overall well-being.
