Publications and Presentations

The TIKTOC RERC is focused on improving the health and independence of adolescents and young adults with disabilities, whether congenital or acquired. In order to meet the varied needs of our target audiences, the center will disseminate and utilize activities to translate, package, and distribute research and development findings. These products will also serve as a way in which to increase awareness of scientific and technological advances among healthcare providers, behavioral scientists, engineers, and individuals with disabilities. Involvement of the disability community is an intrinsic component of the TIKTOC RERC.

By working together, the various communities of CTHI collaborators are able to understand the unique needs of these individuals thereby promoting disability awareness, advocacy, and education. This process fosters the discovery of innovative solutions and supports for individuals with disabilities.
