NC Assistive Technology Equipment Loan Network and Data Collection System

The NC Assistive Technology Program and the Infant/Toddler Assistive Technology Resource Centers (ATRCs) have common data collection needs and share a database that compiles data on equipment inventory, equipment loans, individual services provided, group training events and equipment vendors.  PAT works with the two entities to identify needed updates to the database and is then responsible for having these updates made.  Database training is coordinated and provided by PAT as are other activities associated with the database.  Funding is provided through the Comprehensive Data Collection and Reporting System Contract.
