SC Assistive Technology Re-Use Summit

An estimated 20% to 40% of assistive technology goes unused for a variety of reasons. Medical
and technology needs change. Equipment is outgrown, outdated, or abandoned at the end
of life. Reutilization of assistive technology can meet the needs of many people who would
not otherwise be able to afford the technology they need for education, independence,
employment, and to maintain community involvement. Reutilization programs can also enable
children with disabilities to take direct ownership of AT devices rather than remaining dependent
on school districts for AT acquisition and use.


At this Re-Use Summit, we’ll learn about South Carolina’s Reutilization Initiatives and offer our
re-use programs the opportunity to gather more support from community and state networks.
We’ll connect people and organizations, so we can all work more effectively to share reutilized
equipment throughout the state.


When: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Where: Collaborative Training Center, Midlands Center, 8301 Farrow Road, Columbia, SC 29203
