Today technology is more widely available, and accommodations can be as easy as downloading an app. This presentation will demonstrate free and low-cost apps that can assist individuals with memory, note taking, reading, communicating, reminders and many other tasks to accomplish their goals. Built in accessibility features will also be demonstrated. Attendees will be encouraged to download and try out the apps during the presentation and then use them to assist those that they serve, and maybe even themselves.

This workshop will offer a presentation and interactive discussion providing context about how disability is typically portrayed by the media and how this reinforces ableist stereotypes and perpetuates the stigma surrounding the disabled body and experience. To generate an even deeper level of understanding of #RepresentationMatters, the workshop presentation and discussion will illustrate authentic inclusive concepts related to disability from film, television, fashion, and toys.

Presenters: Marlene Lu, ARC of Indiana, and Peter Ciancone, Executive Director
