The COVID-19 outbreak has raised a host of new challenges for service providers in the I/DD world. Providers are now tasked with transforming the way they provide services in order to prevent further spread and maintain personal connections with those they support.

Technology is crucial in times like these as it is allowing all of us to continue our personal connections anytime, anywhere. In this webinar, Laurie Dale, Senior Leader of Empowering Technology for Ability Beyond will share how she is continuing the human connection with the individuals she serves through the use of a variety of user-friendly, video chat tools and platforms.

Enabling technology now allows the individuals you serve to connect with the people they need with ease by pressing a button to send a text or providing remote supports within a house to minimize exposure during a pandemic. For a glimpse at some of the tools and resources Laurie will be sharing, check out the Ability Beyond Tipsters Youtube page for several demos here.

Register today using the link below and join us via GotoWebinar on Thursday, April 9 from 11:00AM-12:00PM for this innovative and timely presentation.
