Easterseals Massachusetts Chooses CentralReach’s avail® Solution to Help Empower Individuals with Disabilities at Work and Home

Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Easterseals Massachusetts is excited to announce it has selected CentralReach’s avail® solution to help support individuals with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) at work, at home, and in the community. CentralReach’s assistive technology, avail®, provides easy-to-use person-centered prompts relating to on-the-job tasks and employment skills as well as daily living to help individuals with autism and IDD gain employment, excel in their jobs, and reach autonomy with everyday life.

With an investment in CentralReach’s avail platform, Easterseals Massachusetts can offer this impactful digital solution to individuals in their Pre-Employment and Training Services program to help them achieve independence at work while building confidence to grow as an individual.

“While this type of assistive technology has been around for some time, I have not seen a simple, yet thorough, digital solution like avail that allows an administrator to move content between devices, understand utilization of training modules, and save custom training modules,” said Eric Oddleifson, vice president, community support services of Easterseals Massachusetts. “In the past, any customization was local and could only be accessed by one user on one device. As a larger agency, having the ability to create content and then share that content to multiple end users is critical. avail® lets us do that.”

Easterseals Massachusetts provides services to ensure children and adults with disabilities, and Veterans, have equal opportunities to live, learn, work, and play.

“Utilizing this type of innovative technology will be a tremendous benefit for our pre-employment and training services staff as they customize content for our specific students to promote customer independent problem-solving while reinforcing concepts that have been introduced,” added Oddleifson.

At a time when 85 percent of adults with autism are unemployed, the avail® solution brings valuable impact to the autism and IDD workforce community. avail’s interactive platform simplifies tasks analysis and provides remote support with step-by-step digital instructions to help individuals master work-related and day-to-day tasks.

“We are thrilled to provide Easterseals Massachusetts an innovative technology to help support the individuals with disabilities they are serving in the workplace, home, and community,” said Lisa Marie Clinton, managing director of avail® Support at CentralReach. “Leveraging CentralReach’s assistive technology, avail, can help Easterseals better support these individuals in their journey towards achieving increased autonomy in all aspects of their life.”
