Click here to access the webinar!What:Many people do not realize that assistive technology is a continuum of devices and tools, from low-tech to high-tech. However, everyone agrees that the right assistive technology tools can provide a person with a disability the opportunity for increased independence and access to their community. This presentation will focus on low-tech and free tools that are available for older students and adults with developmental disabilities. This presentation will provide the attendees with resources and ideas for 50 free or low-cost assistive technology tools they can implement quickly. The areas of focus are: scheduling, communication, cooking, accessibility to the computer and the internet, and tools for fun.When:Thursday, December 8, 2011 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM MounainContact:Rosemarie PunzalanPhone: 916-325-1690 ext. 343Email: rosemarie@cfilc.org
