Technology that works for and with you: adaptions to help Webinar (LWUK)

You can find the technology you need that will make everyday life easier for you. Small home adaptations can make a big difference, use of readily available apps and much more.

We’ll be joined by Maisie Peebles, Digital Development Officer at the Alliance Scotland. She’ll be sharing assistive technology that could help and tools to use to find out what could work for you. You’ll find out more about technology, useful websites and ways to implement changes.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• Find out more about technology that can help you at home
• Easy and quick adjustments to make
• Making everyday life easier, so you can enjoy the things you love
