Training and Technical Assistance

Due to its affiliation with the University of Idaho, the Idaho Assistive Technology Project has access to the staff and resources necessary to help meet your assistive technology training needs. The IATP regularly holds “for credit” workshops, makes presentations to individuals and organizations, and provides on-going technical assistance throughout Idaho.

Assistive Technology Resource Centers (ATRC)

The Idaho Assistive Technology Project (IATP) has established regional centers throughout Idaho, which provide assessment, consultation, and information services. Examples of assistive technology may also be borrowed from these centers to try in the home.

Information and Assistance

The IATP maintains a statewide information and assistance program related to assistive technology. Handbooks, catalogs, informational fact sheets, and videos describing assistive technology devices and services are available at no charge to Idahoans.

Visit www.idaho/IATPProducts.htm to view information concerning products available.

Used Equipment Exchange Program

The IATP operates a statewide used equipment exchange program through which individuals can find listings of devices available for sale. In some cases, items are available at no cost. A listing of available equipment offered can be viewed at www.idahoat/Recycling.htm.

Advocacy Services

Though a collaborative effort with Comprehensive Advocacy, Inc. (Co-Ad), the Idaho Assistive Technology Project can refer individuals to obtain advocacy and legal services related to assistive technology.

Low Interest Loan Program

The Idaho Assistive Technology Project facilitates a low interest loan program designed to help Idahoans finance assistive technology purchases. Any person with a disability residing in Idaho, or any person acting on their behalf, may apply for a loan. This program is made possible through the combined efforts of KeyBank-N.A, Zions Bank, the Idaho Community Foundation, and the IATP.
