All Things Technology

As a tech Ambassador, my job is to promote all types of technology to assist people with disabilities to use to serve their needs, which will mean less reliance on scarce human resources.  Although it’s critically important to have a person assist someone when needed, it is also critical to one’s self-esteem and development, to be as self-reliant as possible.  Studies have shown people with Developmental Disabilities are much happier and self-fulfilled when someone isn’t in their space 24/7. 

            Throughout my life I have used various forms of adaptive devices/equipment, Smart Home technologies that have adapted my environment so I can independently control lights, thermostat, doors, tv, vacuum, music, read books, texting on my cell phone via computer, and typing on my computer.  I’m still looking for that robot that can get me out of bed and sit me on the commode! Oh wait, maybe it exists – https://youtu.be/y3lxBDc-IUw
