Session IV - New Technology Designed

With Older Adults In Mind


Thursday, September 12th, 10am - 11:30am


Are you frustrated by technology designed without you in mind? You are not alone. Despite the challenges, technology holds great promise, and there are many new devices that can help support you as you age in the community. Learn about technology classes geared toward the way older people learn, and the state-of-the-art devices that are actually designed for you. 

 

Speakers:


Tom Kamber, PhD 

Executive Director, Older Adult Technology Services (OATS)

 

Alex Guitelman

Owner, ResponseLink of Manhattan

 

Mark Surabian

Assistive Technology Consultant, The Marlene Myerson JCC Manhattan
