AT Advocates in Your Community

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 in California.

AT Advocates can:

  • provide information on assistive technology
  • provide referrals to qualified AT professional 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 29 independent living centers with 30 additional branch offices around the state. Centers that do not have AT advocates on staff are still valuable resources for information on assistive technology. Contact the AT advocate near you by clicking on one of the links below. To locate the center nearest you or find more information on any of the ILCs or satellite offices, visit the DIRECTORY at the CFILC website.

Photo of Christopher selecting icons on his alphatalker
quote marksNot only can Chris use his Alphatalker to communicate with people, but he is also learning to initiate conversation with it, all with one overlay and a voice people can understand. You can only imagine how it feels to come home, sit down and have Chris come up to you for the first time in his life and initiate on his own, actual clear verbal conversation"
