Assistive Technology
The National Assistive Technology Technical Assistance Partnership [1]
(NATTAP) provides a list of the contacts for each of the programs funded by the Rehabilitation Services Administration, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services at the U.S. Department of Education.
Assistive Technology Act [2]
The Assistive Technology Act of 1998 as amended in Public Law 108-364 amends the Assistive Technology Act of 1998 to support programs of grants to states to address the assistive technology needs of individuals with disabilities, and for other purposes.
Assistive Technology Programs [3]
The 56 AT Act program contacts are available at this web page. The National Assistive Technology Technical Assistance Partnership (NATTAP) provides technical assistance to the 56 state and territory assistive technology programs as authorized under the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended (P.L. 108-364). Technical assistance is designed to enhance the efforts of state AT grantees.
State Department of Education Assistive Technology Programs [4]
Many states have assistive technology programs supported by their state-level Department of Education. The NIMAS TA Center is not aware of a coordinated list of these programs, so a search within a state's Department of Education web site should determine if such a program exists in each state.
