Begin with the End in Mind: Creating and/or Improving Your AT Reuse Program
For the first time, the Pass It On Center will present a full-day Pre-Conference. This all-day session on Jan. 27, Begin with the End in Mind: Creating and/or Improving Your AT Reuse Program, is a hands-on workshop for individuals who want to begin a reuse program or make significant improvements in an existing program. Using the promising practices identified in the Indicators of Quality for Assistive Technology Reuse (IQ-ATR), Pass It On Center Director Carolyn Phillips will lead a team of instructors from AT Reuse programs and PIOC in helping participants to begin the project planning process. The activities address key facets of organizational structure, accounting, sustainability, program operations, management, human resources, user services and marketing. An emphasis on the assessment and mitigation of risk is interwoven throughout the program. Participants will leave with a jumpstart on their program plans, the Pre-Conference workbook, new tools and a comprehensive start-up project plan based on the IQ-ATR.

The Pass It On Center will present a strand of 10 presentations on AT Reuse at ATIA Orlando. The sessions cover a series of program building blocks and strategies and feature speakers who are expert in the field of reuse. The Conference takes place January 28-30, 2010.
