Focus on Assistive Technologies

About the series

Several times a year, I offer 30-minute sessions over Zoom on topics related to assistive technologies, employment accommodation, and accessibility.

These sessions are free to everybody on my mailing list. To join the mailing list, drop me a line.

Webinars on "Software Shortcuts"

I'm currently presenting a series of free webinars on software shortcuts as workplace accommodations.

My Top Five Software Shortcuts of 2025

I'll countdown the best shortcuts that I developed for clients last year. Each shortcut boosted productivity and supported the individual's occupational health and safety. Clients mastered these shortcuts in minutes, and were able to use them to advantage right away.

Show-and-Tell: My Best Software Shortcuts

As an assistive technologist with disabilities, I rely on software shortcuts every day. During this session, I'll showcase the shortcuts that make the biggest difference in both my professional and personal lives, and I'll explain why they're so effective.

Intended Audiences

These sessions are geared to anyone involved in employment accommodation, assistive technologies, and accessibility:

• Accommodation and accessibility practitioners
• Disability case managers
• Assistive technology professionals
• Ergonomic and occupational health specialists

Although most sessions are not technical, many may pique the interest of technical folks — and anyone who cares about digital inclusion.

Details

• Sessions are presented live and are not recorded.
• Captioning is via Zoom.

London International Festival of Early Music (LIFEM) 2026

Those who know me probably recognize that I'm in my element as an assistive technologist. Woodworking, however, is not one of my strengths. I'm far more comfortable dealing with software than with physical stuff. I'm not much of a builder. I own a few tools, but I rarely attempt anything more ambitious than tightening loose screws or hanging pictures on a wall. I can, with difficulty, assemble IKEA furniture.

My near-total lack of woodworking skills sets the stage of a story: how I hand-built an accurate reproduction of a 300-year-old recorder during a five-day course. I'll be telling this story at LIFEM 2026 in Greenwich, England, in November 2026.

Details forthcoming.
