March 1, 2023 is National Assistive Technology Awareness Day in the United States.  Share your Assistive Technology story on your favorite social page.  Let your community know about the importance of Assistive Technology and include this hashtag: #ATAwarenessDay

 

At Missouri Assistive Technology, we offer a variety of programs for individuals with disabilities or for individuals experiencing age related changes.    Each program plays a role in finding the right match for the individual. Our demonstration centers are great locations to see, try and learn about devices.  Agencies and individuals might consider borrowing a device through our ETC program as an option to try out a device.  Our TAP, Show Me Loans, KAT and ATR programs are potential sources for acquiring devices. Give us a call, drop us an email and let us know how we can help you become aware of AT for all types of disabilities.

Power Up 2023

On April 3 & 4, 2023, the Midwest Assistive Technology Community will come together to network, learn, and share at the Power Up AT Conference.


Assistive technology practitioners, teachers, parents, caregivers, and persons with disabilities have gathered at Power Up over the last 25 years.  Power Up AT Conference & Expo is a great place to learn, network, and share best practices in assistive technology. In April of 2023, we will gather together in Columbia, MO, for Power Up!
