The Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended requires states to submit an application in order to receive funds under the State Grants for AT Program. RSA requires this application to be in the form of a three-year State Plan for Assistive Technology (State Plan for AT or State Plan), covering the period Oct. 1, 2005, to Sept. 30, 2008. State Plans for AT describe how states will implement their Statewide AT Program. During this three-year period covered by the plan, a state may be required to submit amendments and updates. Read the State Plans for 2006.

Both the Assistive Technology Act of 1998 (AT Act of 1998) and the Assistive Technology Act of 2004, as amended (AT Act of 2004) require that the Secretary of Education submit to Congress a report on the activities funded under those respective acts. These documents report on the activities of two programs authorized under the AT Act of 1998 and AT Act of 2004:

• State Grants for Assistive Technology (AT), which provides grants for state programs designed to increase access to and acquisition of AT for individuals with disabilities; and
  
  
• Alternative Financing Programs (AFP), which provides grants to support loan programs that help individuals with disabilities purchase AT devices and services.

The AT Act Annual Reports to Congress:

• Fiscal Years 2004 and 2005
  
  
• Fiscal Years 2001, 2002 and 2003
