Our Mission is to improve the quality of life for all Floridians with disabilities through advocacy and awareness activities that increase access to and acquisition of assistive services and technology.
SAVE THE DATE: An Emergency Preparedness Conference for Persons with Disabilities Saturday May 17, 2008 For more information, contact Shelley Gottsagen at the Center for Independent Living of South Florida, (305) 751-8025 or e-mail shelley@soflacil.org Highlights from Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week Celebrations Statewide
Did we see you at our Statewide Open House? The FAAST Regional Centers showcased a variety of assistive technology devices in recognition of Florida Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week. Guests dropped in on their local centers across the state for information, food, games and giveaways. Florida Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week is dedicated to giving Florida residents the information they need to prevent a spinal cord injury. Technology plays an even more significant role in the life of someone with a severe disability such as a spinal cord injury (SCI).

1 in 14 Floridians has a disability. By using AT Bay, you could benefit one of them directly. AT Bay is a new website where people can buy, sell, or give away assistive technology. Do you have a used AT item in storage that could really help someone with a disability? It could be anything from a wheelchair, hospital bed, or stair lift, to a custom mini-van, Braille machine, or software that reads computer screens out loud.If so, just post a classified ad on AT Bay. Include a digital photo in you have one. And don’t worry about cost. AT Bay is a free service. It only takes a few minutes to post an ad. And if you’re someone who’s looking for a special kind of assistive technology, check out AT Bay. You could find just what you need at a bargain price—even for free.
