What is Assistive Technology?

Assistive Technology (AT) uses devices and services to reduce barriers and enhance independence for individuals with disabilities. These aids and adaptations allow individuals with disabilities to function independently in vocational and educational pursuits.

An Assistive Technology device is any item or piece of equipment that is used to increase or maintain the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.
