About this event
Assistive technology (AT) promotes autonomy and provides increased opportunities for education and vocation, social engagement, and leisure. Additionally, assistive technology can improve an individual’s participation, well-being, and confidence carrying out day-to-day tasks.
Join us for presentations from AT users (children and adults) in our community. They will present information about how they use their AT tools to support engagement in daily life. Opportunity for Q&A to follow each presentation.
While you are waiting for the Showcase, check out our Assistive Technology Guide to learn more about AT tools that may be helpful to you or someone you know! This guide includes pre-recorded videos, which feature assistive technology tools that support play, literacy, gaming, mobility, and communication across the lifespan.
