State Assistive Technology Programs
State Assistive Technology Programs
Every state has at least one assistive technology center that offers a variety of programs for individuals with disabilities or for individuals experiencing age related changes. Each program plays a role in finding the right match for the individual. Demonstration centers are great locations to see, try and learn about devices. Agencies and individuals might consider borrowing a device as an option to try out a device. They often have device reuse programs where you can get refurbished items at a discounted cost.
