Why is Technology a Big Deal?

Considerations: Each individual is unique. What works for one person will not necessarily work for another Some people adapt to change and new technologies easier than others Many of these applications and products are still relatively new and need time to work out all the kinks

Considerations: Language preference of the individual Technology available (high speed internet?) Cost

Accessibility: Alerting Devices

Alerting Devices: Bed Alarms

Alerting Devices: An Example

Accessibility: Amplification Products

Accessibility: Amplification
