Jacob Lacourse

I am the dad of a 2 year old who has Usher Syndrome the leading cause of deaf blindness. I am also an engineer and realized that I could use my skills and the tools available in the maker community to help create solutions for her and help others along the way as well. I am also the founder of Adapt the World Labs where we use technology to create solutions for people with extra needs.
