Assistive Technology Resource Center- Equipment

Kentucky’s regional AT centers are funded through the Assistive Technology (AT) Act of 1998, as amended. The U.S. Department of Education distributes these funds to the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation under the state grant program, Kentucky Assistive Technology Services Network (KATS). KATS supports 4 regional Assistive Technology Resource Centers (ATRC) in order to provide statewide and comprehensive assistive technology activities, as outlined in the AT Act of 1998. The HDI/UK AT Center will build and maintain a lending library of assistive devices to be used across life areas. The center will have ongoing demonstration available to all Kentuckians, and provide training of professionals, consumers, and their families to Kentuckians throughout the region. This center will provide research and training opportunities for students and outreach and direct service to the communities of Central Kentucky.
