Life on Their Terms.

Independence. Choice. Dignity.

My Own Place supports DC’s Technology First approach by helping people with disabilities explore technology as a tool for greater independence, safety, communication, and choice. From smart devices and reminders to assistive tools and remote supports, technology can help people build confidence while continuing to receive support that is personal, respectful, and centered on their goals.
