Happy Occupational Therapy Month!

Congratulations to Kristi, Assistive Technology Specialist, for reaching the milestone of 25 dedicated years of service at Easterseals Massachusetts! When asked what keeps her motivated year after year, she shared, "Every day that I provide an assistive technology evaluation or consultation, it makes a difference to the students I see as well as to their teachers and staff. Everyone gets excited when I tell them there's an online protractor that allows a student with cerebral palsy to participate in the same math lesson as their peers when it would be difficult without technology. Teachers then realize that every student could actually use that tool and not just the student with a disability!" We are grateful for your commitment, Kristi!

Congratulations to Lorelei, Senior Development Officer, for reaching the milestone of 5 dedicated years of service at Easterseals Massachusetts! When asked what keeps her motivated year after year she shared, "Working in Development, I’m constantly telling the story of Easterseals and am privy to much of the magic that makes up what we do and the people we serve. While I’m motivated by my colleagues each day, the real “fuel” comes in unexpected mission moments while hanging out at The Bridge Center or sitting in on a Youth Leadership online gathering. ESMA is pretty amazing." We are grateful for your commitment, Lorelei!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Berkshire Athenaeum's Technology Resource Fair last month. Our Assistive Technology staff enjoyed connecting with the community, sharing resources, and showcasing how assistive technology can enhance independence. Attendees explored local tech resources, received computer skill-building tips, learned about online privacy, and discovered how to borrow assistive technology.
