NMRAM's priority is to establish an assistive technology recycling program for New Mexicans with disabilities. Finding used assistive technology can be difficult. There is a need to address technology needs and issues for people who leave nursing homes, hospitals, transfer to in home supports, or when student leave high school to post secondary and employment settings.

NMRAM plans to expand the reutilization of assistive technology devices in home access, recreation, durable medical equipment (DME) and transportation by locating and advertising the available technology to New Mexicans of all ages who have a disability.

NMRAM will be collaborating and coordinating efforts with State Agencies such as the Human Services / Medical Assistance Division, Department of Health, Developmental Disabilities Division, Public School Districts and others to develop new opportunities to reuse useful assistive technologies. New agreements and other collaborative efforts will provide opportunities for the expansion of re-purchase and device transfer to ensure that NMRAM can meet the AT recycling needs of individuals regardless of their location, age or disability.

NMRAM, along with Adelante Development Center Inc., will establish an interactive website that will allow individuals to transfer, sell, and purchase available assistive technology on-line. This website will be coming to you soon.

The New Mexico Reutilization and Acquisition Model Program is funded under Award number H235V060033 from the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), U. S. Department of Education.
