SUMMARY:Northeast Arc Assistive Technology Expo
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to bring Jeffrey Boucher\, the Assistive Technology Coordinator for the Northeast Arc\, to CTI for an Assistive Technology Expo! This event will be part information session\, part demonstration and part hands-on exploration. The Northeast Arc has an assistive technology lending library program\, located at the Center for Linking Lives at the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers\, that allows individuals with disabilities to test and borrow specialized equipment and other technology to increase their independence. We encourage you to attend with your caretaker or parents to try out different assistive technologies that help with independent living and figure out what might be a good fit for you. You will leave with a list of ideas for tools you may want to purchase or borrow from the Lending Library. We will be hosting two expos–one in July and one in September–so feel free to come to both!
