About Technology for Living

Technology for Living (TFL) is dedicated to helping people in BC with limited movement, and physical disabilities reduce barriers to participation in their home and community.

In 1970, people with severe disabilities in British Columbia, sought control over their lives outside of an institutional setting. Their passion and determination gave rise to the organization now known as Technology for Living (TfL). From humble beginnings, TfL has emerged as an active force of change in communities across BC.

Doors opened to provide hope and an opportunity for those who wanted independence through assistive technology. Our goal is to provide adults and  youth with the kinds of support and opportunities that any person needs. Through specially designed switches, that may be sensitive to touch or breath, our members can control devices and access equipment that greatly reduces the need for certain types of dependence. Our technicians create solutions that form the building blocks to live healthy, independent, and productive lives. 

Our programs expands personal autonomy by providing members with solutions to manage independently at home. We aim to enable people to become the compassionate and contributing members of our communities they have the potential to be.

We envision a society that embraces innovation, where people who face physical barriers to participate, are supported and included. We imagine a BC where youth and adults can maximize independence and autonomy at home through technology and support.
