The South Carolina Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) held its 17th annual expo Thursday at the Spartanburg Marriott at Renaissance Park.More than 55 vendors and agencies were at the event, providing exhibits and workshops for several hundred visitors.
Affiliated with the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, SCATP is a federally funded program that works to put technology in the hands of people with disabilities to help improve their quality of life.
Carol Page, director of SCATP, said thousands of disabled people, their families, educators and caregivers across the state have been affected by assistive technology.
Page said assistive technology is any device that improves or increases a disabled person's functional abilities. It covers a broad spectrum of devices that are used in daily life.
"Technology is the great equalizer," she said. "This goes way beyond wheelchairs."
