Thanks to a two year grant from Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund, Acclaim Health is able to offer this brand new program to Halton region!
The Technology Accessibility Program (TAP) is available to older adults who want to learn how to use technology to access services, information and social opportunities. Clients are provided with free, in-home, step-by-step training and a tablet loan, including data (if needed), for a 3-month period. They are guided through up to nine units by a friendly, trained volunteer, using age friendly best practices to learn tablet use and social information communication technology (email, internet, Zoom, games, YouTube, social media, messaging, etc.). This program is designed for older adults with limited or no experience and prioritizes those who would have trouble accessing other types of technology support.
Acclaim Health is accepting referrals and recruiting for volunteers. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Truman by email: ntruman@acclaimhealth.ca or phone: 905-827-8800 ext. 2315.
