The Assistive Technology Coalition was formed in July 2001 by several state agencies with federal mandates to provide assistive technology devices and services to Colorado residents. The mission of the Assistive Technology Coalition is to increase awareness and accessibility to assistive technology to a scale where all Colorado residents are assured their rights to personal development, learning, independent living, and work opportunities of their choice.

Incentives:

• Maximize the limited resources
• Avoid duplication of effort
• Support each other in keeping pace with technology

Accomplishments:

• Collaborative statewide training on the use of assistive technology
• Individual client and student evaluations
• Formation and implementation of a statewide assistive technology loan bank
• Ongoing technical assistance to service providers within the partnering agencies
• WesTAC (Western Slope Technical Assistance Center), a satellite assistive technology center located at the Workforce Center in Grand Junction
• SETAC (Southeast Technical Assistance Center), a satellite assistive technology center located at the Pikes Peak BOCES in Colorado Springs
• Governor's proclamation of Assistive Technology Awareness Week for the weeks of October 12-18, 2008 & October 11-17, 2009

Future Goals:

• Invite additional agencies with goals that align with existing members to join the Assistive Technology Coalition
• Develop additional satellite centers in other regions of Colorado
• Expand the statewide loan bank to meet the growing need for access to technology
• Identify new funding sources for assistive technology research and training
