Indepent Living Center (ILC) AT Advocates
AT Advocates are community based, information and referral specialists who can assist consumers with a variety of assistive technology issues. They work at Independent Living Centers (ILCs) in California.
AT Advocates can:
- provide information on assistive technology
- provide referrals to qualified AT professionals for evaluations, assessments and training
- help locate vendors, services and funding resources
- make outreach and community education presentations
- and much more
Some independent living centers have programs which enable consumers to try out different types of devices. The independent living centers in the cities listed below have AT advocates on staff. There are 28 independent living centers with 23 additional satellite offices around the state. Centers that do not have AT advocates on staff are still valuable resources for information on assistive technology. To locate the center nearest you or find more information on any of the ILCs or satellite offices, use theĀ Find your local ILC tool on the CFILC website.
