History/Overview
The ILAT program was developed 14 years ago by the Office of Disability Services. It is available to assist all individuals with a documented disability, regardless of age, race, or sex. The program is primarily funded through State/Federal Grants, as well as funds from the Division of Aging Services. In July 2005 R.A.G.E., Inc. was created. R.A.G.E. is a federally recognized non-profit program and currenly runs the ILAT program of Southern Nevada. In addition, R.A.G.E. also offers services catered specifically to individuals with spinal cord injuries. R.A.G.E. prides itself on being an information rescource to other agencies in the community as well as an advocate for all persons with disabilities. Throughout the years, we have helped hundreds of individuals improve or aquire their independence.
