Sensors Harness Skills for Independence at ADAPT (UCP-NYC)

SimplyHome is pleased to announce our work with ADAPT to incorporate our customized assistive technology services to promote more independent living for residents with ADAPT Community Network (formerly United Cerebral Palsy - NYC). ADAPT is the leading nonprofit agency in New York City providing direct services, technology and advocacy for children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
