There are around 80 million people living with a disability in the EU. This is more than 15% of the European population. Different types of disabilities lead to different limitations and needs.
Those affected would like to be able to live a more self-determined, independent and fulfilled life in their own comfortable home despite their limitations. Modern technologies can help with this! Smart technical aids are generally available and affordable nowadays. If one knows how to use them skilfully, one can lead a more active, self-determined, independent and socially integrated life despite a disability.
With our training offers, we would like to explain to those affected, their relatives, friends and professional specialists what technological options are available, what needs they fulfil and how to set them up and use them.
