Core Services
Information and Assistance
We respond to requests for information and/or put individuals in contact with other agencies, organizations or companies that can provide them with needed information on AT products, devices, services, funding sources or other related disability supports.
Assistive Technology Equipment Loans
We have a device loan program where assistive technology devices may be borrowed for a short period of time to
- assist with decision making in selecting and acquiring appropriate AT options
- serve as a loaner while waiting for a repair or funding
- provide an accommodation on a short-term basis for a time limited event
- support training, self-education and/or other types of professional activities
Device Demonstrations
We offer device demonstrations to allow individuals to compare the benefits and features across devices or groups of devices in order to make informed choices about AT options.
Trainings
Our training activities are instructional events tailored to specified purposes and audiences. Examples of trainings include classes, workshops and presentations with goals of increasing participant skills, knowledge and competency.
