Kara and Alice Visit Imagine!

Imagine!’s SmartHomes team is always looking for examples of how other individuals and organizations are using technology to improve the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Yesterday, Alice Brouhard and her daughter Kara visited Imagine! to meet with Imagine!’s SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems, Technology Architect Alex Andrews, and other Imagine! staffers. During the meeting the group discussed how Alice and Kara are using iPad technology in Kara’s home, as well as other apps that may be useful for individuals with a variety of disabilities.

Alice and Kara are key contributors to the Families at the Forefront of Technology Conference and are also currently heading the “Kara’s Own Voice” campaign, a petition to Apple to restore functionality to Aida Reminder, an app that provided voice reminders.

Check out that campaign here.
