Enabling technology that empowers independence is becoming more widely available and gaining popularity for organizations. But in order for an organization to transform into one that is Technology First, education and training is needed for the technology to be successful as a natural support: That’s where accreditation with Shift comes in. Shift is the industry’s first curriculum and online learning community that is standardizing the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to transform an organization into one that is Technology First.

Join us January 19th at 12:00pm EST for an online webinar. During this virtual event, you and your team will learn how Shift can provide your organization with tools, training and information it needs to seamlessly and effectively transform to a Technology First organization.  

Registration is free. The webinar takes place Tuesday, January 19th from 12:00pm to 12:30pm EST. 

Led by Cameron Kempson, M.Ed., Director of Education for SimplyHome, and Dustin Wright, CEO of Disability Cocoon, Shift standardizes best practices in Technology First programming through its program offerings, making enabling technology less intimidating and more approachable for provider organizations and state agencies.
