Technology Survey
You are invited to participate in a research project being conducted at UIC on how people with disabilities use cognitive technologies (personal digital assistants, cell phones, augmentative communication devices, tape recorders, etc.) to increase independence. We are interested in gathering information from people with developmental disabilities (age 18+), acquired brain injuries, or problems with memory (such as dementia or Alzheimer's), as well as from their primary support person(s).
Please complete the survey here.

Sibling Leadership Network Update (PDF, Word)
VOTE! National Technical Assistance Center for Voting and Cognitive Access believes that it is very important for people with disabilities to vote and learn how to vote. We are very excited about the new public service announcement we just did. This project was created by the national self-advocacy orgainzation Self-Advocates Becoming Empowered and some other self-advocates. This is a message for people with disabilites wanting other people with disabilities to go out and vote and make a difference. Also to show others without disabilities that people can vote. -Tia Nelis Download video here (3MB)
