Visit us to explore assistive technology (AT) options that might best meet your needs. Device demonstrations are personal appointments with an assistive technology specialist that provide an opportunity to discuss your needs, learn about possible AT solutions, and compare and contrast different AT devices, their features, and possible benefits.
The Demonstration Center includes a very large inventory of AT devices representing multiple AT categories. If visiting the center in-person is not possible, video conferencing appointments are available. Some demonstrations can be provided at alternative locations. This service is free of charge to all Illinois residents. IATP does not sell assistive technology products or endorse specific brands of products.
Contact us to schedule an appointment or for more information.
