R. Ken Smith II
From mechanical engineer to sales engineer to insurance agency owner, working in the field of developmental disabilities & assistive technology was the furthest thing from my mind over 10 years ago.
And yet there is no place I would rather be.
From the emergence of Remote Supports in the state of Ohio, as a technology engineer providing assessment, training and speaking engagements to service coordinators, providers, clients and families. Providing feedback to the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities and the Governors office at the request of the State Director, I have been extremely active in shaping the Technology First initiative.
Today I am the Founder of AbilityTech, designing smart-home solutions and assistive technology solutions to individuals, residential and ICF providers, county boards and state departments of development disabilities.
Ohio DODD Tech First Consultant and co-founder of NextGenAT, a software platform which hands remote supports over to the local service provider.
