Seeking Input
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) at the U.S. Department of Education is interested in gathering information from States, consumers, families, service providers, advocacy organizations, community groups and other stakeholders on existing needs for AT services and devices, systemic barriers to meeting those needs, and successful approaches that have removed barriers to AT for individuals with disabilities. NIDRR is interested in identifying those issues that need to be addressed in the future in order to help fully achieve the objectives of the Technology Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act.
