Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is any tool or device that helps you do things more easily or independently. It can include hearing aids, vision aids, wheelchairs or devices that help with talking or communication. It can also include modifications to your home or car.
Assistive technology is made to fit your needs and help you live your life the way you want.
How to Afford Assistive Technology
Assistive technology can be expensive to purchase, but AT loan programs can provide affordable loans for the purchase or refinance of assistive technology. On this page, you’ll find resources and webinars with helpful information and ways to pay for assistive technology.
