Workshop Objectives
- Focus on adults who by virtue of an inherited/congenital condition, accident, or disease(s) become impaired in their ability to be as independent as possible as they age.
- Provide an overview on how the independence, community integration, and well-being of these individuals can be improved through access to and increased use of technology.
- Examine existing and emerging technologies, with a focus on technologies most likely to be employed (“straddling promise and reality”).
- Discuss barriers to deployment and adoption of technologies and reasons for abandonment of technologies already in use.
