The Smart Apartment is an interactive model that replicates a typical home, but with one very important difference: it is equipped with an array of assistive technology and universal design features that enable individuals with disabilities to control their surroundings.

The Smart Apartment allows physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as well as assistive technologists, to work with patients one-on-one, identifying and customizing the most appropriate technology and practicing the activities-of-daily living techniques which meet the individual’s goals.
