WP AccessAbilities Conference 5/30/2019 (WPU Undergraduate Students)

Be Smart and Be Independent!

The highly anticipated WPU AccessAbilities Conference is back! This year, we will focus on commercially available smart devices that increase the independence of individuals with disabilities (e.g., physical, visual, or hearing impairments). Join us to explore a wide range of smart devices and services, such as cloud-based voice assistants, smart light bulbs, smart outlets, smart watches, IFTTT, and augmentative and alternative communication apps. Participants will gain practical skills in how to use these affordable smart devices to increase independence for individuals with disabilities in home, school, work, and community contexts.
