LET'S LEARN ABOUT...
ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Assistive Technology is one of the many ways that people with disabilities can maintain equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play in their daily lives. Regardless of whether you or a family member have a developmental or acquired disability, either long- or short-term, these programs may add great value to your quality of life. Assistive technology programs offered through Easterseals Massachusetts are available to children and adults of all ages in Massachusetts.
