Webinar Title: Blueprint for Assistive Technology in Aging: Insights for AAAs from Georgia’s Tools For Life
​
Presented by:
Sal Kibler, Tools For Life, Assistive Technology Direct Service Gerontologist, Georgia Tech Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation
​
This webinar is designed for Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) seeking to better connect older adults and caregivers to Assistive Technology (AT) resources in Georgia and other states. Using Georgia’s Tools for Life as an example, we’ll highlight practical AT solutions for ADLs/IADLs, dementia/memory support, home safety and fall prevention, and vision and hearing needs.
Participants will learn where state AT programs typically “live,” what services are commonly available (e.g., device demos, short-term loans, reuse programs, training, and referrals), and how to identify reliable entry points for warm handoffs that support independence and safety at home.​
