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.
