Cavender talks about the Walls for Tots' idea which originated because of his wife, Laura, who is an occupational therapist (OT) who works with children with special needs at United Cerebral Palsy of Huntsville. He saw the parallels between an engineer and OT, namely the end goal of making something useful to bring meaning and purpose to someone. Many of the children she works with have difficulty playing with toys because they lack fine motor skills or the strength to "activate" the toy. Engineers are problem solvers.
