Assistive Technology Services
What is Assistive Technology?
Assistive Technology is any piece of equipment or adaptation to the environment that helps a person with a disability achieve. It may be as low-tech as a reacher or as high-tech as a computer controlled by voice.
How can we help you?
Our Assistive Technology Services department (ATS) can help determine which technology will be most effective in meeting your goals.
Our trained technologists can visit your home, school, or workplace. After evaluating your functional abilities and goals, the technologist will customize a solution or recommend a device and provide information on how and where to purchase it.
Selecting the right equipment is only part of the solution. We also provide the training needed to help you integrate this equipment into your everyday life.
What type of services do we provide?
