Northern Idaho AT Demonstration Center

The Coeur d'Alene Hand Therapy and Healing Center has partnered with the Idaho Assistive Technology Project to expand the assistive technology services available to citizens in North Idaho. An assistive technology demonstration center has been created in the Healing Center which contains a computer access demonstration station for children and adults, educational displays of equipment for persons with low vision, hearing impairments, aids for leisure activities, aids for homemaking, and personal care aids. The demonstration center is located at the Coeur d'Alene Hand Therapy and Healing Center in the Riverstone Complex, 2448 Merritt Creek Loop in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The resource center is prepared to take questions about assistive technology needs and will either send out information or connect the consumer with the appropriate person to help them out.  Please contact the Center at (208) 664-2901, if you have any questions or to schedule an appointment to visit the demo center.  Read more about the demo center by visiting the Cd'A Hand Therapy and Healing Center's AT webpage.
