The objectives are: 1) to improve lifespan and ease of life; 2) to improve the provision of information and awareness of available technologies for those with disabilities; 3) to streamline access to technology and information; 4) to advance and enhance currently available technologies. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) individual with disabilities and their caregivers will have greater options for improving their ways of lives; 2) providers will be able to more options for care using a variety of existing techniques; 3) families will have streamlined access to information. The expected products are an application the new NIDILRR Research application which will work much like TikTok, marketing and outreach materials, and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. The app will feel like a combination of TikTok and an online library. It will translate NIDILRR content into short videos and graphics that will make them easily digestible and attainable, or users can read full length articles through our database.
