Assistive Technology and Behavioral Supports: A Person-Centered Approach to Building Independence
Disability services are increasingly focusing on autonomy, dignity, and community participation in line with the HCBS Final Rule. This presentation explains how assistive technology, when combined with evidence-based behavioral strategies, can support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in building independence while maintaining safety. Using examples from AngelSense technology, it highlights approaches such as remote prompting, fading supports, and data-informed programming to promote skill development and reduce reliance on constant supervision.
