SMART LIVING CENTER
The Smart Living Center is a pioneering initiative developed to bridge the gap between emerging technologies and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and other disabilities, who are often overlooked in the design of health, work, and life-enhancing solutions. Despite the growing number of technologies aimed at promoting independence, there is currently no central resource where people with disabilities and their caregivers can learn about, test, and receive guidance on these innovations.
A TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE HUB
Located on ADAPT’s Stillwell Campus, the Smart Living Center serves as an educational and demonstration center, showcasing a wide range of assistive and enabling technologies specifically tailored for people with I/DD and other disabilities, while also benefiting seniors, veterans, children, and other populations. The lab features a model home environment where visitors can explore and interact with technologies that promote independence, community integration, and quality of life.
Services
As a community resource, the Smart Living Center currently offers guided tours and hands on exploration of assistive and enabling technologies. Beginning October 16th, tours will be available every Friday or at other times upon request. Please see information below about how to sign up for or request a tour.
Services and supports under development and coming soon include:
-Consultations and assessments for assistive and enabling technologies, including Home Enabling Supports (HES) assessments for eligible individuals;
-Payment pathways for a variety of assistive and enabling technologies;
-Technology-related events tailored to specific populations and/or specific technology categories.
