In an effort to expand awareness of consulting services for training seniors on technology, I developed a promotional video with the help of my grandmother. She was my inspiration for working with older adults. She is the matriarch of a large family and has been a widow, living alone, for over two decades. When I first approached her to suggest using an iPad to stay in touch, she was very resistant. She eventually came around and has been using her iPad daily for the past five years.
As a result of our iPad training consultations in senior living communities, we were invited to present to the healthcare team at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino. We featured this video during the presentation, which lead to an Apple supported pilot program at a local senior living community.
