Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing, or other special needs!
Every year, the INDATA Project hosts free trainings on various aspects of assistive technology. These full-day trainings are typically held at our Indianapolis facility (4740 Kingsway Drive) and are live streamed via Zoom.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available through the AAC Institute for all attendees. CEU’s cannot be provided for anyone who watches archived full day training video.

The breakdown of the 2024 Full Day Trainings at Easter Seals Crossroads is incredibly helpful. I’m particularly interested in the “Assistive Technology & Aging” session in March. As someone who works with interior design, I’m always looking for ways technology can enhance comfort and independence for older adults, especially within their own homes. It makes me wonder how much of the assistive technology discussed is focused on home modifications and smart home integration to facilitate aging in place. The availability of CEUs is also a great incentive for professionals looking to expand their knowledge.

The “Assistive Technology & Aging” session in March sounds incredibly timely. It’s amazing how much technology has advanced to support independence as we age. I’ve been thinking a lot about how different people adapt to new tech – it’s not just about the tool itself, but how it fits into an individual’s life and needs. It actually reminds me of this quirky personality test I stumbled upon recently called SBTI. It’s less about broad categories and more about how you navigate the absurdities of life, which feels surprisingly relevant when you’re trying to figure out the best tech for someone. Do you think the trainings will touch on how to tailor AT to individual personalities and preferences, not just functional needs?

The way assistive technology is opening up new possibilities is fascinating, and it makes me think about how quick reflexes and sharp focus are just as important in accessible gaming. For anyone into that kind of challenge, the car racing games at speedslope are a great way to test your skills.
I’m really glad to see the INDATA Project is continuing these full-day trainings! The “Assistive Technology & Aging” session in March sounds especially timely. It’s fascinating how much technology has advanced to support independence as we get older, and I’m curious to see what new innovations they’ll highlight.
It also got me thinking about how understanding individual needs, even beyond specific disabilities, can be so crucial. It reminds me of this satirical personality test I stumbled upon recently – the SBTI. It’s a fun way to explore different aspects of yourself, and honestly, some of the “absurd” types felt surprisingly insightful! Might be an interesting diversion for anyone interested in self-discovery, alongside learning about these incredible assistive tools. Are there any other trainings on the schedule that have caught your eye?
The “Assistive Technology & Aging” training in March really caught my eye. It’s fascinating how much technology can empower independence as we get older, and I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference the right tools can make. It also got me thinking about how understanding our own individual strengths and challenges, maybe even through something as quirky as a personality test, can inform how we approach and utilize assistive tech. I recently stumbled upon the SBTI personality test, and it’s a fun, albeit absurd, way to get a different perspective on yourself! It’s not about finding a perfect fit, but more about embracing the weirdness. Anyway, I’m curious if anyone has attended these trainings before and has feedback?
The idea of these full-day trainings on assistive technology is fantastic, especially the “Assistive Technology & Aging” session coming up. It’s so important to recognize how technology can support independence as we get older. It actually got me thinking about how different people approach technology and learning new tools, which is kind of like how everyone has a unique way of understanding themselves, too. I recently stumbled upon this SBTI personality test – it’s a fun, quirky way to explore different types of personalities, and it made me laugh thinking about how diverse our needs and preferences are, whether it’s for aging or just figuring out who you are.
The idea of “Assistive Technology & Aging” in March really struck a chord. It’s fascinating how much technology can contribute to independence as we get older, and it makes me think about how we approach *all* kinds of personal development, not just aging. It’s like finding the right tools for the job, but for your own life journey.
Speaking of finding the right “fit,” I recently stumbled upon this really quirky personality test, the SBTI. It’s less about rigid categories and more about embracing the absurd aspects of who we are. It’s been a fun way to reflect on personal traits and how they manifest, kind of like how assistive tech helps people navigate the world differently. Might be a fun diversion for anyone interested in self-discovery!
