Welcome to The Arc of Massachusetts
Let’s begin!
- What are your individual strengths? What things do you want to do? What things do you need help with?
- Where do you need assistance? Home? Work? In the Community?
- What obstacles do certain tasks present?
Personal technology, both high tech and low-tech might provide a solution.
Our Technology Circle of Support will supply you with discovery tools and resources that will help you find the right technology to make things easier for you and your family. The information we provide on tools and resources will grow over time and never be complete, as technology is always developing and improving.
HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY OPENS POSSIBILITIES:
