It's Week 3 of our theme #ThankfulForTech and #TechnologyFirst this November! Today we're understanding #RemoteSupports for People with Disabilities ???? Remote supports are innovative technologies that provide real-time assistance and monitoring for individuals with disabilities, allowing them to live more independently. Examples of Remote Support options are: Smart Home Integration: Automated systems that control lighting, temperature, and security, helping users manage their home environment with ease. Video Monitoring: Remote caregivers can check in and provide support through video calls, offering peace of mind and immediate assistance when needed. Health Monitoring Systems: Wearable devices and remote health monitoring tools track all manner of health & safety indicators. These tools alert caregivers to any issues, providing timely interventions and continuous health management. By integrating assistive technologies with remote supports, individuals with disabilities can enjoy greater autonomy, improved safety, and more consistent care, all while staying connected to their support networks. This synergy is crucial in building a more inclusive and supportive environment. #AccessibilityForAll

Ohio's "Technology First" campaign is an initiative aimed at ensuring that people with developmental disabilities have increased opportunities to live, work, and thrive in their communities through innovative technology. Launched through an executive order in 2018, the campaign focuses on integrating technology into service plans to enhance safety, independence, and quality of life. This includes using assistive technology for daily tasks and remote support for real-time communication, allowing individuals to be more independent in their homes. It's one of many reason we are #ThankfulForTech! #AssistiveTechnology #RemoteSupports
