To publicly fund enabling technology for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Michigan, this project will implement the national Technology First framework. By creating a 20-member task force including parents and state government to develop implementation recommendations and establishing a nonprofit “tech champion”, the initiative aims to improve self-efficacy and resilience among IDD beneficiaries while addressing workforce shortages and enhancing care adherence.
