The Line Between Innovation and Accommodation is Blurring:  The New Role of Assistive Technology.

Teleseminar Topic: Assistive Technology: Capturing the Ability and Skill within Your Organization.

Thursday, September 16, 2010 Teleseminar
11:00 AM - 12:15 PM (EDT)

Join us for a business discussion on how assistive technology (AT) can support and allow for creative workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities.

Teleseminar host Janet Fiore, CEO of The Sierra Group, Inc. will cover topics where you will:

  • Learn the four (4) elements that support and allow for creative accommodation solutions
  • Learn how assistive technology interfaces with Human Resources policy, Information Technology and the specialized needs of employees with disabilities
  • Learn about current trends in accommodation solutions utilizing state-of-the-art technologies
  • Better understand how you can be an essential component in the employment of individuals with disabilities through workplace accommodations

Technology is commonplace in today’s work setting, with many companies utilizing leading edge technologies to get real-time access to their systems. Indeed, many employers encourage their employees to work with a smart phone or an iPad to enhance their productivity.  So why is it that disabled individuals using the same or similar technologies as “assistive technology”, have the highest rate of unemployment?  Could it be that the term and workplace benefits of “assistive technology devices” is not really understood by employers?

Professional Credits Available.
