Technology Tuesday

In order for us to be successful at using technology to improve the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities, we must ensure our staff members are also comfortable with and understand the various technologies we are using. This picture is from a training taking place at the Charles Family SmartHome. Site Supervisor Chris DiRosa says: “This month we are focusing on adaptive communication device training. A Dynovox is a fantastic tool to allow many of our residents to communicate and control their environment through the use of technology. Dynovox users at our SmartHome are able to control their TVs, radios, and lights all through the use of their adaptive devices. Because of the amazing work being done here by Imagine!, residents are able to enhance their independence and express themselves like never before!
