Assistive technology can be any item that can be used to maintain, increase or improve the function and safety of an elder. Evaluating an elder’s need and making the most cost-effective recommendations is what Easter Seals Assistive Technology Specialists do every day.
Safety and Independence Benefits from Assistive Technology Devices
· Enable and empower the elder through electronic aids to~daily living (EADLs).
· Automate specific tasks that an elder is unable to perform (turning lights on/off).
· Provide a safe and secure environment (alerting the family or caregiver of potentially dangerous~activities and link to local community alarm system).
· Facilitate in the rehabilitation and care of elders (by giving prompts that could be auditory and/or visual).
· Modify household items to make everyday tasks easier. Please RSVP for this presentation!
