Assistive Technology

March 31, 2022 at 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

I didn’t know I could do that!!!

 Alice will share how an iPad and two apps, and now Alexa, can provide technology solutions to aid in day-to-day independent living.

Alice’s daughter, Kara, has been living a self-determined life, in her own house, for over 15 years with the use of a $1.99 app and an $18.99 app!  Alice will tell their story and offer hints and tidbits of how you too can find “an app for that!” and ask Alexa “What can you do…”
