Technology has influenced the lives of nearly everyone in one manner or another. Most of us take it for granted, perhaps<br />
not event noticing the extent to which our everyday activities are either completely reliant upon technological<br />
advancement or have just been made significantly easier. In an age where every year technology takes a more<br />
prominent role in our lives – it is imperative that we consider how technology may benefit individuals with developmental<br />
disabilities.<br />
The <strong>2018</strong> TechSummit is a one day event that presents an opportunity for self-advocates, professionals, and family<br />
members to learn about ways the technology is being used and may be used in the near future to promote independence<br />
for people with developmental disabilities. The event features speakers from across the United States. These<br />
include experts in their field, self-advocates and family members who can share their personal testimony about the<br />
way that technology has influence their lives.
