Device demonstrations are a great way to introduce individuals with disabilities, family members and professionals to the features and benefits of assistive devices. A demonstration gives participants time to explore and to make an informed decision about available assistive technology.

 

Missouri Assistive Technology supports 13 assistive device demonstration centers. Located across the state, the centers allow individuals to engage in hands-on exploration of computer adaptations, aids to daily living, environmental adaptations, vision aids and hearing equipment, just as examples.

 

To learn more or to schedule an appointment, contact the center nearest to you or contact Scout Merry at (816) 655-6705. Devices inventories vary from location to location.
