Purpose of the Conference
At the Pass It On Center, we have experienced a significant increase in requests for technical assistance and training from Centers for Independent Living (CILs) throughout the US and territories. We are organizing a national conference to provide more focused technical assistance and promote closer collaboration with AT Reuse Programs and CILs in the area of Reuse. This conference is designed to showcase innovative strategies that AT Reuse programs have found to work within and in collaboration with Centers for Independent Living (CILs). Discussion will center on identifying new skills and specific needs of reuse programs within CILs that need to be addressed. Information will be provided to expand and strengthen CIL Reuse programs, particularly as they relate to quality services, emergency preparedness and program sustainability.
