Technology 101: Integrating Technology Into Human Services

Wednesday June 10, 2026 3:00pm - 4:15pm EDT

As the world of human services changes, it's more important than ever to deliver care that respects privacy, safety, and independence while keeping people connected to their communities. This presentation dives into the shift toward cutting-edge, technology-driven care models that follow CMS's Final Settings Rule. We'll explore why traditional group care falls short and how next-generation solutions can better serve semi-independent and vulnerable individuals.

Key topics include how remote and in-home support technologies are making it possible to deliver faster, more flexible care, even in hard-to-reach places. Attendees will learn 5 key characteristics of a strong technology partner in order to prepare for moving to next gen services. We’ll also share insight on GoodLife’s award-winning Neighborhood Network and Shared Living models, which show how technology is not just improving care but changing lives for the better. Lastly, we'll tackle the tricky balance between protecting privacy and meeting care needs, and highlight how dedicated Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) play a crucial role in making this all work. With real-life examples and hands-on strategies, we'll show how these new models don't just boost quality of life-they're also the future of a stronger, more stable direct support workforce. This session is for anyone ready to push the limits and drive person-centered care with practical, game-changing solutions.
