Home and community based services (HCBS) are gaining momentum, and as a result, several states are taking a “technology first” approach to I/DD programming. Cameron Kempson of SimplyHome, LLC will explore this new model and the role of “enabling technology” as an effective tool for empowering community independence. SimplyHome’s passion for supporting people with disabilities drives their innovative approach to creating customizable technology solutions. As a result, more people are being supported in homes they choose for themselves and living the lives they determine.
