15% of the world’s population has a disability and is in need of assistive technologies. Particularly in the case of children, these are fundamental to allow the exploration of the environment and enhance capabilities. In countries like Colombia, where access to assistive technologies is regulated, but not all people access them, a program like Go Baby Go becomes relevant. This program modifies and delivers battery cars to improve the ability to play and participate of children with disabilities.References
