How Financial Health Impacts Your Mind and What You Can Do About It

Technology can open doors when you know how to choose it and afford it. In this lively, practical session, blind professionals and tech experts @Liz Bottner and @Corey Grandstaff share real-world strategies for finding assistive tools that deliver the most value for your dollar.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Budget for and prioritize accessible technology that makes daily life and work easier.
  • Tap into funding options like Vocational Rehabilitation, grants, and waiver programs.
  • Discover high-impact tools—from screen readers to budgeting apps—that support earning income, managing money, and living more independently.

Whether you’re exploring your first budgeting program or building your next-level tech stack, this workshop helps you make smart, confident choices about the tech that powers your independence.
