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. Each demo will be 30 minutes long. We will be in contact prior to the institute in order to schedule your specific start time.
