You’ll see the tech and remote supports in the Smart Home Expo, come see it in real life!

Step into an immersive Smart Home Suite designed to showcase how thoughtfully integrated technology can empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to live more independently, safely, and confidently. Sponsored by ShiftAbility, this hands-on experience features a two-room suite: one set up as a fully equipped smart home environment—with voice-activated devices, environmental controls, safety sensors, and more—and the other demonstrating real-time remote support tools. Attendees will get a first-hand look at how remote live monitoring works, offering a unique perspective on how technology can proactively support safety, independence, and timely interventions.

Discover how these smart systems can ease workforce pressures, reduce the need for constant in-person support, and deliver more personalized, data-informed care—transforming the future of I/DD and aging services.

The available demo times will be 10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 3:00 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. on both October 27th and 28th. Each demo will be 30 minutes long. We will be in contact prior to the institute in order to schedule your specific start time.
