Welcome

The mission of The Academy’s Assistive Technology Program is to provide the necessary services and support that will enable persons with disabilities to properly use assistive technology. We feel that it is essential for all users of assistive technology to have a solid understanding of what the technology can do to improve their lives and the lives of others. The Academy’s Assistive Technology professionals conduct detailed technical assessments to ensure that the individual is fitted with the correct assistive technology. When working directly with consumers, our services are designed to show them how to properly use assistive technology at home, at school, and at work.

The Academy works with each consumer and supporting agency to make certain that the correct technology is recommended, installed, and properly supported. We provide guidance and support through the entire process from the assessment stage, to the design and implementation stage, to the installation and support stage. We feel that our full-service approach will guarantee the successful implementation of the student’s assistive technology plan and the subsequent achievement of their educational and occupational goals. It is not required for a person with a disability to attend any of The Academy’s academic programs to receive our Assistive Technology services.
