Tech:Solutions Intro | a Live Disability Technology Online Event
9:00am - 4:00pm CDT | 10:00am - 5:00pm EDT
Enabling technologies have the potential to transform how disability supports are defined, reduce the reliance on scarce DSP human resources, and mostly importantly fulfill everyone’s mission of improving autonomy and quality of life for people with various levels of ability.
Join us for a one day online crash course on all things disability technology. This one day live online webinar is designed to give provider agencies, Case Managers, self-advocates, and families a fast moving glimpse at:
+ why we must all start incorporating tech in everyday services and supports for people with disabilities
+ 20 cutting-edge disability tech solutions you can implement today
+ possibilities that are enabled with the appropriate application of technologies
This one-day online Tech:Solutions event is an opening educational opportunity for providers in Sedgwick County, KS as a part of Disability Cocoon's year long Enabling Technologies Pilot project. This online event is open to everyone involved with, or interested in, disability services and supports (people outside of Sedgwick County KS are welcome).
New to tech? This is designed specifically for you.
Join us for the entire day, or come and go as needed based upon your schedule.
