Abstract
Assistive Technology (AT) reutilization is a concept that is born out of need. From local
grassroots efforts, it has grown to become a nationally recognized response to
providing AT to those people who would otherwise “go without”. We have witnessed the
power and independence AT brings to the individuals who have participated in many
programs committed to the intelligent reutilization of assistive technology. We have also
experienced the incredible frustration of knowing that efforts to assist more people
have been limited because of the lack of understanding about reuse programs. The
Pass It On Center will respond to this unmet need by coordinating national collaborative
on AT reuse programs that will provide multi-faceted information on best practices, a
national database and home page, a coordinated plan to respond to natural disasters,
and a National Pass It OnTask Force. At DATHA, Joy Kniskern, Carolyn Phillips and
Martha Rust will talk about the latest programs developed at the center.
