using social media to connect, communicate, and network regardless of ability/disability
DESCRIPTION
Imagine! strives to provide community access and opportunities for the individuals we serve. We believe that the social media revolution offers new and exciting ways for individuals to engage in their communities. Even better, in the social media world, a person’s disability is invisible. Individuals with disabilities can engage in online communities and conversations without barriers and without judgment. That is why Imagine! is exploring a variety of ways to provide access to social media tools.TRANSCRIPT
