Technology: Ideas for “Independence”
October 26, 2023- 12pm-2pm OR 6:30pm-8:30pm- Zoom
“Independence” is different for everyone! For some people it may be simple devices that help them remember their schedule, while for others it is a complete Smarthome. For some people with I/DD, having someone available through remote supports is what is needed for them to be able to do things on their own. Join the Pa Family Network as we take a look at some of the assistive devices and services that have made a Vision of independence a more obtainable outcome.
Outcomes:
- Learn about Assistive Technology as identified under the waivers
- See how Remote Supports offers opportunities to build independent living skills
- Discover a variety of resources, information and lending/funding sources for technology
