Assistive Technology

Assistive Technology includes both devices and services.

  • An assistive technology device is any item that directly assists an individual with a disability to increase, maintain, or improve their capabilities.
  • An assistive technology service is any service that directly assists an individual with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device.

Information about assistive technology and resources including links to other web sites related to assistive technology can be found at http://www.atnet.org/ - the web site of the AT Network. There are also loan guarantee programs that may help individuals seeking solutions to assistive technology needs. The AT Network is funded by a federal grant through the Department of Rehabilitation.

Assistive technology is one of the services that may be provided to consumers of the Department of Rehabilitation.
