Moving Technology Out Of The SmartHomes (Part II)

One goal of Imagine!’s SmartHomes project is to move successful technologies and technology strategies (SmartSupports) into Imagine! residential care facilities, day programs, and family homes.

Here’s a great example:

Imagine! Family Support staff members providing early intervention services such as occupational therapy and speech therapy have incorporated iPad applications into their service delivery. Staff members are using apps to teach sign language, to improve communication skills, to teach cause and effect and object identification, and also to improve gross motor skills.
