Expanding technology access for adults with developmental disabilities at F.E.G.S health & human services network

Abstract

New technologies that have become integrated into all facets of society present a multitude of challenges and opportunities for human services providers and the consumers they serve. The mission of F.E.G.S Health and Human Services System (F.E.G.S), has always been to help individuals reach their highest level of achievement, at work, at home, and in the community. To carry out this mission today requires setting new program goals to help reduce the digital divide for our consumers. F.E.G.S enters the 21 st Century committed to finding new ways of creating synergy between technology and health and human services to make sure the individuals we serve are able to be full participants in the digital age.
