You will explore everyday communication tools such as text, email, photos, and voice notes, and discuss when each tool may be useful. You will also learn how to find common accessibility settings, including text size, captions, volume, color/contrast, and other device settings that can make technology easier to use. The class will introduce a simple troubleshooting process and practice how to coach someone through a technology problem without taking over their device.

Led in partnership with Saad Iqbal of the Hukm Foundation

This class is designed for DSPs, staff, caregivers, family members, and support people. In this session, participants learn the digital skill for themselves and also learn how to support someone else using that skill without taking over. If you support someone who is interested in the class immediately following this one (Making Technology Work for Me: Communication Tools, Settings, and Help When Things Break), you must attend this session.
