Introducing the Aging Peer Action Learning Cohort
The Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs (ATAP) is excited to offer an opportunity for collaboration and growth with the Aging Peer Action Learning (PAL) 2026 Cohort. This specialized cohort is designed to bring together entities serving older Americans and caregivers who can benefit from assistive technology devices and services.
ATAP’s AT3 Center selected Aging as the second environment in a series of Peer Action Learning (PAL) events to promote enhanced capacity for AT Act Programs and their partners.
Why Join the Aging PAL Cohort?
Strengthening Partnerships and Knowledge
Many aging-focused organizations, including Area Agencies on Aging, State Units on Aging, senior centers and other aging entities, already collaborate with their state’s Assistive Technology (AT) Act Program. This specialized cohort offers a focused opportunity to achieve four key outcomes:
- Expand access to assistive technology devices and services for older Americans
- Strengthen collaborative partnerships between AT Act Programs and state/regional/community aging entities
- Enhance knowledge of AT Act Program Services among aging service leaders
- Deepen understanding of aging services and infrastructure among AT Act Program leaders
Benefits of Participation
Led by subject matter experts, the Aging PAL Cohort will help you:
- Gain knowledge and tools to strategize and develop new partnerships with state, regional, and local entities
- Add value to existing collaborations
- Increase available resources and support for older adults with disabilities and those aging into disability.
Who Should Participate
The Aging PAL Cohort is ideal for:
- AT Act Program Directors and key staff/partners
- Aging service leaders interested in establishing or enhancing partnerships with AT Act Programs
- Professionals seeking to gain a better understanding of aging services and assistive technology projects and resources
This cohort is ideal for anyone interested in building partnerships and gaining a deeper understanding of aging services, assistive technology projects, and related resources.
