                                H

                                The Assistive Technology Advocacy Center of 
Disability Rights New Jersey is proud to present a 5-part series focusing on 
older adults.

                                This series of 5 webinars covers a range of 
needs of older adults, including staying in touch with others and 
controlling home systems, seeing small print or details with greater ease, 
reading a variety of materials and content, writing supports, and staying 
independent and safe in the home. Adam Krass and Brian Friedlander will 
guide you through a range of low- and high-tech options for helping older 
adults lead lives that are more connected, independent, easier, and safer.

                                Register for one or all sessions through the
