This AT Day, we are celebrating the amazing work of the DC Assistive Technology Program!⁠
⁠
The DCATP team works around the clock to connect DC residents with assistive technology. Cane and Walker Clinics provide seniors and people with disabilities at low-income apartments with free canes, walkers, and replacement cane tips. Medication Management Product Demonstrations provide a guided demonstration of different types of pill organizers.

From Twinkle to Wrinkle – Assistive Technology supports people throughout the lifespan!

Assistive Technology is not just about disability – it’s about independence at every stage of life. This includes people who have temporary, intermittent, and progressive disabilities. It also includes those aging into disability and those who do not yet identify as having a disability!

Contact our supportive staff at the DC Assistive Technology Resource Center (202) 547-0198, ext. 137 if you need assistance identifying products or strategies to improve your function, independence, and productivity at home, work, school, or in the community. ⁠
⁠
Consumers can schedule appointments to tour our assistive technology center to see product demonstrations. We are making independence possible!

In his own words, "If awarded $25,000, I would use the funding to finalize manufacturing and produce the first large production run of TeleSox™.
