Please join CIDI in congratulating Jennifer Ro on her promotion to Director of Tools for Life. 

Ro has thirty years of experience in assistive technology. As a speech pathologist, she has worked in a variety of settings across the disability lifespan, such as K-12 public schools, private clinics, early intervention programs, community-based adult programs, group homes, and research centers. 

As the new Director of Tools for Life, Ro said that one of her biggest goals is to “rekindle those old relationships or establish new relationships across the state of Georgia”. Other strategic priorities include increasing outreach and awareness of the services Tools for Life provide the people of Georgia. 

Although she is now in a more administrative position, she is excited that she still has the direct aspect of working with people with disabilities. Her goal is not to be an administrator, but to be an active participant in making the lives of people with disabilities better through assistive technology.
