DSLC Services Assistive Technology (AT)
Assistive Technology is any adaptive aid used by a person with a disability to function as independently as possible both in the workplace and at home.
The DSLC's Assistive Technology Program is dedicated to expanding the accessibility of tools, resources and technology that help increase independence, improve personal productivity and enhance the quality of life for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.
