What You Will Learn
When we think about technology in homes, the first things that come to mind are security systems, audio, and visual entertainment and, more recently, lighting. But there’s so much more to it! So, how about adding 61 million people to your possible client list? Today there are 61 million people that live with disabilities in the United States. There are a multitude of ways that technology can make their homes more accessible, functional, and livable.
