What Is Our Mission?

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for Californians with disabilities by providing them with assistive technology (AT) devices and by innovating the loan process.

About CATE

Under the grant, the California State University at Northridge will manage three programs: AT Device Loan Program (Try Before you Buy), AT Reutilization Program (Want Ad Postings), and AT Loan Guarantee Program (Funding Options).
