关于我们
Many people don’t realize that there are so many options for any person of any level of disability to increase their independence and safety. These options come in the form of assistive technology (AT). Assistive has taken on the responsibility of getting this technology to those who really need it. We are the only program in the state of this kind, and we have made it our passion to close the gap between ability and disability. As the primary AT resource in the state, we are constantly following advances in the field so that we have the expertise to consistently provide comprehensive, quality AT services. The devices that we provide can cover a broad range of needs. This includes assistance in the classroom, the community, and at work, as well as technology to allow those experiencing the effects of aging to safely remain living in their own homes. Providing funding and distribution programs is another integral segment of our organization. We feel that all state residents should be given the opportunity to learn about, try, and afford AT devices.
