Technology is everywhere.
Individuals use technology daily to help them complete tasks and make their lives easier. That same technology is being used to help increase the quality of life and self-sufficiency of those living with disabilities.
Technology is NOT an absence of supervision, but a way to extend the reach of caregivers. Technology solutions allow case managers to coordinate with family, natural supports, and service providers to achieve more effective and efficient support plans. Not every option is right for every person served—there is seldom a one-size-fits-all solution—but technology can be customized and augmented to fit individual needs.
As a hub of information, the Technology Resource Center serves as a guide to implement technology solutions—it all starts with a conversation.
Begin the process to:
- Find out what technology is available
- Learn which technology supports will work best
- View success stories that can be shared with persons served and their family members
- Learn more about state funding and regulations
