Services and consultation that supports the use and implementation of AT devices
Assistive technology (AT) includes any product, device or service used to maintain, increase or improve the daily living and functioning capabilities of individuals with disabilities (Assistive Technology Act of 2008).
At Gompers, AT is embedded into daily routines to provide our students and members with access to various assistive or adaptive products, devices and equipment. This enables everyone to accomplish daily living tasks, facilitate communication, and increase their ability to learn. Assistive technology also supports and enhances employment opportunities.
In 2015, the BHHS Legacy Foundation provided grant funding to allow Gompers to increase collaboration with other nonprofits serving individuals with disabilities, and establish the BHHS Legacy Foundation AT Lab on our Phoenix campus. This important resource includes
Gompers partners with the Arizona Technology Access Program Loan Library AzTAP and to secure equipment for assessment in naturalistic settings for the individuals we serve.
Gompers’ Assistive Technology initiative is possible because of the generous funding from grants, foundations, corporations and individuals. We would like to acknowledge and thank the following community partners for their generous support
Thunderbirds Charities is generously supporting our efforts to expand our community’s knowledge about the impact assistive technology can make in the lives of people with disabilities. We know that by building more collaborative relationships with other professionals – sharing resources and knowledge – we will build a stronger community of support for the people we serve.
