Thank you Florida (Agency for Persons with Disabilities) for helping spread the word!

FAAST, Florida’s Statewide Assistive Technology Act Program, wants to hear from adults with I/DD and their families! They are forming a Workgroup to help guide what technology can best support independent living as individuals and their families age.

Together, we’ll look at tools that make daily life at home easier, like smart devices, phone apps, communication supports, and home sensors that can alert someone when help may be needed. You don’t need to be a technology expert; your lived experience is what matters.

You may be a great fit if you are:
• An adult with I/DD
• A parent, sibling, or guardian of an adult with I/DD

The Workgroup will meet virtually 4–6 times over the next 12 months. Interested in joining? Email Stacy Driscoll at [email protected] by November 6, 2026, to learn more.

💚 October is Dwarfism Awareness Month!

Dwarfism is a medical or genetic condition characterized by short stature, typically resulting in an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or less. There are more than 200 types of dwarfism, and every person's experience is unique.

Awareness means celebrating people’s abilities, challenging stereotypes, and recognizing the importance of accessibility in everyday life. Assistive technology and adaptive tools can help people with dwarfism navigate their environments, reach everyday items, and participate more independently at home, school, and work.

At FAAST, we believe technology should help remove barriers and support people in living life on their own terms. 💙
