About ATP

The Assistive Technology Partnership (ATP) is dedicated to helping Nebraskan's with disabilities, their families and professionals obtain assistive technology devices and services since 1989.

Nebraska was one of the first nine states to receive a grant under the Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-407) and is now in its eighteenth year of operation. The intended outcomes of the programs created under the Tech Act has been to increase access to, availability of, and funding for assistive technology for individuals with disabilities.

The Nebraska Assistive Technology Partnership is a collaboration between private, non-profit and governmental agencies and organizations that has resulted in the establishment of a comprehensive program of technology-related services for Nebraskans with disabilities. Partnering agencies provide us with support through grants and contracts to provide public awareness, information and referral services, on-site technical assistance, a mobile assessment and evaluation service, funding coordination, training for their staff, equipment loans and equipment recycling, and funding for assistive technology devices and home modifications.

Individuals can access services through the partnership regardless of their age, disability, or location in the state.
