CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: To provide customized desks for children with dwarfism. To modify the existing desks, the wooden desktops were removed and a 20-centimeter piece was cut from the 25-millimeter metal legs using a jig to ensure all the desks would be the exact same height. Tubing inserts were cut to fit inside the metal legs and rejoin them, but because the tubing had a raised manufacturer seam, the leg pieces had to be drilled to a depth of 10 centimeters. The legs were reassembled, fixed with pop rivets, and refitted to the desktops. TITLE: Starting High School. JOURNAL: TAD Journal. REF: Volume 28, Number 3, October 2008: p. 14-15. PAGES: 3.
