Although this interview is all about Maryland's Assistive Technology Program, I want to make sure the listeners know every state has a similar program. And, if they're anything like Maryland's, these programs are probably being underused.

If you'd like to do more of your own research, I encourage you to check out The Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs (ATAP). From their website, they are "a national, member-based non-profit organization, comprised of state Assistive Technology Act Programs funded under the Assistive Technology Act (AT Act). ATAP facilitates the coordination of state AT Programs nationally and provides technical assistance and support to its members. Established in 1997, the organization strives to enhance the effectiveness of AT Programs on the national, state, and local level. ATAP promotes the national network of AT Programs, represents the needs and interests of the programs, and serves as the national representative of state AT programs."
