Free Assistive Technology Help for Students

South Carolina Assistive Technology Program logo


Assistive technology (AT) can be a powerful tool in a student’s life, even during online learning. 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, but during Covid-19, we provide free demonstrations via Zoom. At the end of the demonstration, we can offer a free, short-term device loan, 30-day trials or resources. The loan allows the student to try the assistive technology device 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.

To find out more about our services visit our website at scatp.med.sc.edu/. We look forward to helping you meet the assistive technology needs of your students during the upcoming spring semester.
