Keynotes
The Times They Are a Changin’: The Metamorphosis of People with Disabilities Living Lives of Their Own Choosing
Lynne Seagle
Executive Director Hope House Foundation (Retired)
This keynote session will share the story of Hope House Foundation who made the decision to close all its group homes in favor of offering individualized supports and services to people with disabilities in their own homes and apartments regardless of the level or needs associated with their disability.
Highlights will include the decision-making process, funding, housing options, preparing staff, board of directors and families, and the three dominant reasons most organizations still provide services in congregate models.
Join us for Lynne’s rousing keynote address on Monday, June 9, 2025!
There’s an App and Alexa for That!!!
Kara and Alice Brouhard
Join us for a fun and informative look at how two low-cost apps ($1.99 and $18.99) and Alexa can support independence in individuals even with significant cognitive issues.
Alice has utilized this mainstream technology for over 18 years to assist her daughter, Kara, who sustained a severe TBI, and was left with many challenges, to live a very independent life! This technology has given Kara the ability to have her own voice remind her what to do throughout her day, and to guide and support her in accomplishing daily tasks. In addition, Alice will discuss and demonstrate how useful Amazon Alexa can be in assisting with home safety as well as increasing knowledge of the world around us for individuals with cognitive challenges.
Join us for Alice and Kara’s empowering keynote address on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
