Welcome to Partnerships in Assistive Technology

Partnerships in Assistive Technology is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing access to assistive technology and information technology for North Carolinians with disabilities through training, equipment recycling, advocacy, and technical assistance. 

We partner with state agencies, non-profit groups, the Southeast ADA Center and grassroots disability groups to help make communities accessible for people with disabilities and to ensure access to the tools they need to live independently, work, access educational and recreational opportunities, and participate in community events. 

Assistive technology empowers people of all ages to move, to see, to hear, to communicate, to read, to learn, to access computers and the internet, to plan, to play, to control their environment and to independently accomplish the tasks of daily life.

Assistive Technology is “about
the inclusion of people with
disabilities in every aspect of
society and how technology
can serve as a tool to
facilitate that process”. 
(ATA, 1994)

Assistive Technology is “Magic”...it describes the sense of empowerment that results from being able to do something you had believed was impossible”. (Male, 1993)
