Choosing Apps That Make a Difference
Technology is changing quickly, and it can be challenging to know which tools are truly useful. This three-day virtual event is designed to help pediatric professionals make sense of emerging technology and explore how it can be used purposefully to support children’s everyday participation.
🗓️ Free online event: October 19–21

We hope you’ll join Amy and other pediatric professionals for this opportunity to explore practical ways technology can make a meaningful difference!
We’re excited to put innovation into action. 👓✨
BridgingApps is beginning a new pilot exploring how Meta’s AI-powered glasses may help people with disabilities navigate everyday life with greater independence.
With support from a $25,000 grant from Meta, about 25 participants, most of whom are people living with disabilities, will use the technology in their daily lives while we learn more about its potential, benefits, and real-world applications.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to explore what’s possible when technology is designed with accessibility and independence in mind.
