Read bio »Gil Addison has over 25 years of experience supporting individuals with disabilities. Gil has worked for PathPoint, a developmental disability service provider, since 1997. He was Direct Support Professional (DSP) for the Community Access Program (CAP) in Santa Barbara, California for 25 years. The CAP program provides a wide range of activities for individuals with moderate to severe physical and developmental disabilities.

Due to his inquisitive mind and technologic abilities, Gil brought many new technologies to individuals in the program. Over the years he created a training program for staff, tested and piloted tech with individuals, and made partnerships with resources and companies in the field.
In 2017 Gil was promoted to Community Integration Manager and completed the Assistive Technology Applications Certificate Program at California State University, Northridge. As the Assistive Technology Manager for PathPoint, Gil now brings technology and training to programs in all the five counties PathPoint serves.
