Upcoming Webinar:

Preparing Yourself and Your AT in an Emergency
Emergencies and disasters happen with little to no warning; preparation means personal empowerment. Get simple tools to guide the conversation for planning with someone who uses assistive technology and learn about devices and apps that can help you in an emergency.

Join WATAP on Thursday, February 9th at 10:00am for a free webinar on emergency preparedness. If a disaster struck, either large or small, how prepared would you feel? What would you do with your assistive technology and how would you replace it if it were lost? Learn simple steps you can take to prepare yourself and your assistive technology in case of an emergency. Find out about resources available, ways people can receive communication before and during an emergency and the importance of thinking ahead. Theres no time like now to be prepared for the unexpected.

For more information and to register, send an email to Leann at leann@washingtonaccessfund.org or give us a call at (206) 328-5116. We're looking forward to having you join the discussion!

At the time, his wife Paula, ran a popular Lake Stevens quilting and embroidery business (Twin Quilts).
