$10,000 To Buy A Talking Computer

People with disabilities now have a place to turn to learn everything they need to know about how the latest in technology can improve their lives. It can be a specially equipped van, a talking computer, a special kitchen or eating aid. A project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, called Technical Assistance Project has established an office in each state that can provide:

• Information Services: will help you identify the special products that are available to help you cope with your disability.
• Equipment Loan Program: allows people to borrow new technology devices for a number of weeks before they purchase them.
• Recycling Program: matches up people with needs for products with people who want to sell or donate products.
• Funding Information: collects information on the various sources of funding for this equipment from public and private sources.
• Loans: many states are offering special loans to help people purchase the necessary equipment; Ohio offers low-interest loans up to $10,000, North Carolina has loans up to $15,000, and California offers loan guarantees up to $35,000.

Contact your state information operator and ask for your state Office of Social Services or Vocational Rehabilitation. They should be aware of your state Assistance Technology Office. If you have trouble locating your state office, you can contact the office that coordinates all state activities: Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) , 1700 North Moore Street, Suite 1540, Arlington, VA 22209-1903; 703-524-6686; Fax: 703-524-6630; TTY: 703-524-6639; www.resna.org
