April 14, 2021 is National Assistive Technology
Awareness Day!
In celebration, the
Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network is bringing its Device
Demonstration Center to the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library on April 14,
2021 from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
For 29 years as the federal Assistive Technology (AT) program, the Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network (LATAN) has provided AT services and programs to individuals and families throughout the state. AT, which can include some durable medical equipment or DME, is best described as any device, tool, software, or application used to increase, maintain, or improve the quality of life of a person living with a disability or functional limitation.
LATAN’s mission is to
help people of all ages to gain independence AT work, AT home, or AT school using assistive
technology.
Join Us for the Technology for Life Expo to see the many cool and
innovative AT devices used to help with activities of daily living, leisure and
recreational activities, computer access and much more!
The Technology for Life
Expo will also include a seminar on the Alternative Financial Program designed
to help buy and/or borrow AT devices and equipment. Whether for school, community
living, or performing duties on the job, LATAN provides Technology for Life!
