Easter Seals Disability Services

“With the right tools, learning, work, and recreation can be enhanced and at times made possible.”

                     - Eric Arverson, Assistive Technology Program Manager

Assistive Technology is a resource program for the Easter Seals organization, and stays on the cutting edge of new technologies that enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Touch screens, augmentative communication devices, footmice, and alternative keyboards are just some of the technical hardware tools available. Computer access is offered to participants, where they work on developing a variety of special skills. The program’s main objective is to increase learning while having fun, and show children and adults with disabilities how to use computers and assistive technology to enhance their lives.
