Coaching Session: Assistive Technology Supports In The Home

There is a multitude of ways to use both low and high tech assistive technology to support people to be as independent as possible in their own homes. Identifying the technology and ensuring that a person is successfully able to use it can sometimes be a challenge. Come ready to discuss the challenges and successes that you’ve experienced with assistive technology in the home for the people you support.

 

This collaborative coaching session provides a forum for Support Coordinators to share resources, collaborate to problem-solve common issues, and enhance skills through facilitated discussion.  Each session involves a brief Introduction to the topic through use of key best practices, scenarios, case studies, and/or common experiences.  Participants will actively participate through guided conversation and sharing of strategies and promising practices.

 

Participants are expected to actively contribute to the conversation by coming prepared to brainstorm and share resources related to the topic.
