Overview:
Throughout all phases of our clients’ lifespans, helping professionals are tasked with understanding and locating appropriate resources (especially resources that are free or affordable) for their clients who are aging and/or disabled. In this comprehensive overview of assistive technology (AT) resources, helping professionals will enhance their knowledge of free or low-cost options to help their clients of all ages who are disabled or aging. Using a case study model, this training will focus on Georgia’s Tools for Life program as a representative example of AT services, and will also show participants how to locate programs in their states. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of AT, its applications, and how it can significantly improve the lives of individuals with disabilities, including the aging population. Additionally, the course will explore various funding options and provide real-life case scenarios to illustrate the practical use of AT in different situations.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Define Assistive Technology (AT) and its role in enhancing independence and improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, including the aging population.
- Identify key AT programs and services provided by AT Resource Centers, with a specific focus on Georgia’s Tools for Life program and understand the range of AT options and funding sources available.
- Apply knowledge of AT to real-life case scenarios involving individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions, demonstrating the ability to recommend suitable AT solutions, make appropriate referrals, and assess potential funding needs for clients.
