On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re proud to highlight Life | Home | Tech (LHT)a program designed to support adults with IDD and older adults through the power of enabling technology.

LHT is about meeting people where they are and using technology as a bridge—not a barrier—to greater autonomy and inclusion. ✨🏡🧑‍💻

The Teal Me Now exhibit closed with a meaningful afternoon of connection, reflection, and conversation. Artists and art lovers came together to share stories behind the work, offering insight into the creative process and the lived experiences that shaped each piece.
It was an inspiring reminder of how art creates space for dialogue, understanding, and community—and how personal expression can resonate far beyond the individual. 🩵💙
