The California Foundation for Independent Living Centers, a nonprofit disability advocacy group in coordination with CSU, Northridge - Center on Disabilities is conducting research on technology used to facilitate employment outcomes for people with disabilities. The phrase Assistive Technology refers to any device that a person with a disability uses to live or work more independently. It can be a modified workstation, a walker, or even Velcro on a pen. This project is funded by a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research
