= Welcome to Laurie's Assistive Tech Place! =

Mission: The Mission of this Wiki is to provide a place for those using Assistive Technology to find resources, How - To's, and information meaningful to their needs. The plan is to build a Wiki where Teachers, Therapists, Students and Parents can locate resources, links and How-to-Use information. We are not recommending, nor endorsing any particular item for any particular individual. While this wiki is starting small, I anticipate it growing over time. Please check back regularly and see what has been added.

"An assistive technology implies any article, an apparatus, or manufactured goods that is utilized to augment, retain, or develop functional competence of disabled persons. As per the Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1988, assistive technology service is a kind of service that directly helps and aids a person suffering from a disability in the choice, possession, or usage of an assistive technology device. These could be, either obtained commercially, off-the-shelf, modified or customized." ( @http://idea.ed.gov/)
