Empowering Lives Through Assistive Technology: Celebrating AT Awareness Day in Texas

Each year, National Assistive Technology (AT) Awareness Day recognizes the transformative role of assistive technology in enhancing the lives of people with disabilities and older adults. AT includes a broad range of tools from screen readers to communication software that helps enable individuals to participate fully in education, employment, and community activities.​

In Texas, numerous organizations and programs provide access to assistive technology:​


* Texas Technology Access Program (TTAP): TTAP offers device demonstrations, short-term loans, and training to help Texans explore and acquire the AT solutions best suited to their specific needs.​
* Texas Education Agency (TEA): TEA provides guidance on integrating assistive technology into educational settings, ensuring students with disabilities have the tools necessary for academic success. Find more information on the ​TEA [ [link removed] ] website.
* Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Division: TWC’s VR Division helps individuals with disabilities access AT to support their employment goals. Individuals can get started through the Start My VR [ [link removed] ] referral form or by contacting a local VR office.

These resources exemplify Texas's commitment to ensuring that assistive technology is recognized not as a luxury, but as a necessity that empowers individuals to lead independent and fulfilling lives.​
