ASSITIVE TECHNOLOGY CENTER
Remove Barriers to Employment
Assistive Technology Update
Assistive technology can remove barriers to employment. Advancing Opportunities' Assistive Technolgoy Services Team is available to help the DVR staff understand what AT options exist to create solutions or ways around obstacles.
We'll be sharing a monthly update with you to give you technical tips you can use to improve your efficiency, information on devices and software that may work for your clients and case studies that show assistive technology in action.
Sincerely,
Fred Tchang, ATP
Director of Assistive Technology Services
