The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of the independent living community to work with its members and stakeholders to collect research data on access and use of AT to improve the lives of people with disabilities. We seek to empower people with disabilities at the consumer level to directly participate in research that will increase their independence through Assistive Technology. CR4AT is a five-year, community-based research program by and for people with disabilities in California. NIDRR Grant # H133A010702
