Envisioning Access Inc

Envisioning access offers innovative solutions through new technologies that provide opportunities to adults with disabilities to gain independence to live life as they choose. Formerly known as helping hands: monkey helpers, the boston-based organization was founded in 1979 to raise and train capuchin monkeys to administer daily in-home assistance to people with physical disabilities. Today, through our innovative technology initiative we utilize augmented/virtual/assistive reality, and robotic technologies to enhance our clients' quality of life. Our pilot projects involve our recipients who are expertly advising companies and researchers developing virtual/augmented/assistive reality, ai and robotics technologies as real-world solutions that provide access to employment, educational, health and socialization opportunities for people living with disabilities.
