Are you curious about which Assistive Technology (AT) tools and services are available that could help an individual after epilepsy surgery with improved access to information, education, communication, employment, or leisure activities?
This presentation provides an overview of assistive technology for people with learning, communication, and developmental disabilities. Through demonstrations and actual case studies, we will learn about accessible features built into the technologies you currently own and dedicated tools that may also be obtained to provide access to learning, augmentative communication, physical access, self-regulation of behavior, and even independent living skills. Time will be allotted for questions and follow-up opportunities.

We understand that being a parent of a child who is anywhere on the epilepsy surgery journey can be challenging and overwhelming at times. That’s why we’ve created our Power Hour workshops – to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to empower yourself and your child.

During the workshops, we’ll cover a variety of topics, including:
- Understanding your child’s needs and the impact it may have on their development;
- Navigating the educational system and finding the right resources for your child;
- Building a support system for yourself and your family;
- Self-care and stress management for parents of children with disabilities
…. and more!
By empowering yourself and your child, you can better advocate for their needs and create a more positive and fulfilling life for both of you.
