Assistive Technology (Part-1)

What is Assistive Technology?

Assistive Technology (AT) includes devices, products and services that allow people with disabilities to move freely, obtain jobs and maintain their independence. These include such items as eyeglasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs and ramps, communication devices, specialized computer software and assistance dogs.

CCCIL's Assistive Technology goals:

• Match consumers with available services, vendors, training and potential funding opportunities.
• Help consumers to identify how to acquire, fund, fit, customize, maintain and / or repair AT.
• Conduct community outreach to raise awareness of AT to people with disabilities, families, service providers, media, elected leaders and policy makers.
