Event
Accessing Your World: A Closer Look at Environmental Control and Switch Access
Type
Webinar
Description
Accessing your environment and accomplishing tasks like turning on and off the lights, opening doors, and controlling the television or radio are basic things that go unnoticed every day. However, for many people with limited mobility access to their environment accomplishing these tasks give a whole new meaning to life. Many people disabilities go from being surrounded by their teachers, peers and helpers regularly, to being by themselves more often and needing to learn strategies for independence. Creating an environment that enables learning tools to independence can help ease the transition process into postsecondary education or community living. In this session, presenters will ask the “critical questions” that you need to know when assessing your clients for successful environmental controls. Discussion will focus on success stories of individuals using a variety of environmental controls. This session will also include a demonstration of affordable environmental control solutions that can be used in all areas of life including implementation in the classroom and then throughout the transition process. Multiple environmental control options and options for interacting with the environment (voice, computer, tablet, phone and robotics) will be covered.
