Assistive technology can help make homes more accessible, helping individuals with disabilities increase their independence within their own homes and also promote aging in place for older adults. Here at Clarkson Hall, ATREC has implemented a range of assistive technology into the smart apartment. Students are able to get a hands-on experience to different devices that can be used within the homes of future clients. Community members can come in and use the different devices to see if any fit their personal needs before purchasing them. 

Currently, the smart apartment has assistive technology for safety, organization, and overall accessibility. The majority of devices can be used through voice activation or mobile apps, allowing access all through one device! 

​Want to learn more about the different smart home assistive technology? Come and check it out yourself! Set-up a time with us to see how you can start your coffee maker from your phone, close your blinds from your tablet, lock your house without using a key, and access your cupboard or closet while sitting.

Stay tuned to learn more about the different categories of smart home technology we have!
