Assistive technology can be a powerful tool in a student’s life. AT for students can be a device, software, apps, even adapted toys. We work with your staff and students with reading and writing disabilities and students with multiple disabilities. Having access to assistive technology in the classroom has the potential to greatly improve or increase a student’s functional capabilities, and SCATP staff are here to help you find the assistive technology that best meets the needs of your students. There are many free and low cost items available that can make a big difference!
SCATP has a demonstration center in Columbia, SC where we provide free demonstrations, offering hands-on trials with the most comprehensive inventory of AT items in the state. At the end of the demonstration, we can offer a free, short-term device loan. The loan allows the student to try the assistive technology to make sure it is a good fit before a decision is made to purchase.
SCATP staff are available to offer free assistive technology trainings on the topic of your choice to school district staff.
