Introducing, Fallon, our new blog author!

Hello, my name is Fallon Marie Hughes. I am an avid researcher and computer enthusiast in the realm of assistive technology.  I’ve been physically disabled since birth; therefore, I use assistive technology called Dragon Naturally Speaking to facilitate me in my everyday life. It allows me to be self-reliant and confident in my skills and abilities. This past December, I started technology training at Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) to make my skills more marketable   in the public sector.

 WIHD accommodates individuals with a broad spectrum of disabilities and needs to meet their desired endeavors.  The assistive technology department provides training and evaluations, fostering support in areas such as academics, computer access and communication skills. Their loan program allows clients to try out various distinctive types of technology free of charge. The dedicated zealous staff works in the office and out in the field to educate individuals from all walks of life about the imperativeness of assistive technology.  If you’re interested in learning about what WIHD has to offer please contact Jessica at ATP@WIHD.org

As a tenacious consumer of Westchester Institute for Human Development, they have bestowed upon me the privilege to share in their mission.  I will provide lucrative information on various types of assistive technology for individuals with disabilities, in blogs that I will post twice a month. If you are interested in a specific topic or have any questions please don’t hesitate to email me at techblogspot89@gmail.com
