Summary

Center for Personal Assistance Services

The RRTC Center for PAS was established at the University of California San Francisco in 2003, funded by a 5-year program grant ($4.5m) from the National Institute on Disability & Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).



Personal Assistance Services

PAS refers to formal and informal help provided to people with disabilities to assist them in tasks essential for daily living. PAS, along with assistive technology such as wheelchairs, text readers and hearing aids, helps people with disabilities to participate in activities at home, at work and in the community.



Workplace Personal Assistance Services (Workplace PAS) include task-related assistance at work, such as readers, interpreters, help with lifting or reaching, re-assignment of non-essential duties to co-workers, and other help related to performing work tasks and personal care-related assistance such as helping someone with toileting, eating, or drinking while at work.
