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
