Join us for the MA Digital Navigators First Annual Conference, where MABVI's Jennifer Harnish and Dave Dunahm will present along with Easter Seals at the conference session 3A - Accessibility as a Standard

This session “Accessibility as a Standard” will be a conversation focused on accessibility as a standard which will expand to hands-on with adaptive tech. MABVI will specifically address the needs of a growing number of older adults who are aging into vision loss and the role technology can play in equitable and healthy aging for people with disabilities. They will offer Digital Navigators helpful tips and best practices for working with older adults with visual disabilities, including demonstrations of devices and apps.
