Assistive Technology Resources 

Funding for the ADA Technical Assistance Program comes from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS),  and the U.S. Department of Education (ED)    


The Iowa Program for Assistive Technology (IPAT) goals are to promote and create systems change in the state with regards to assistive technology (AT) and it's use.  IPAT works with consumers and family members, service providers, and state and local agencies/organizations to promote assistive technology through awareness, training, and policy work.


The purpose of Project ASSIST is to provide computer training to individuals who are blind, visually-impaired or deafblind.


Telecommunications Access Iowa is a program of the Iowa Utilities Board and is administered by Deaf Services Unlimited, Inc. This program was established as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act to work in conjunction with Relay Iowa, a telephone relay service to provide for communication access over the telephone. The service, known as Relay Iowa, is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no restrictions on the number of calls placed or on their length.  This valuable communications tool gives all individuals who are deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech disabled the opportunity to make personal and business calls just like any other telephone user.  Both TTY and voice users may initiate calls through Relay Iowa.


Sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education

The Assistive Technology Partnership funded through the Nebraska Department of Vocational Rehabilitation links people with technology. The AT Partnership enables people with disabilities, their families, and professionals to learn about the latest innovations and identify funding for assistive devices and services.
