The Idaho Assistive Technology Project connects people with assistive technology for living, learning, working, and participating more independently in their communities.
About
The Idaho Assistive Technology Project, commonly called IATP, is Idaho’s federally funded Assistive Technology Act program.
It operates through the Idaho Center on Disabilities and Human Development at the University of Idaho.

Why We Recommend This Resource
Assistive technology can be expensive, and purchasing equipment without knowing whether it meets someone’s needs can result in wasted money.
IATP gives Idahoans an opportunity to learn about technology, receive assistance identifying appropriate equipment, and test or borrow devices through its statewide resource centers.
