About the program:
Provides a federally-funded statewide grant program committed to improving the quality of life of all Virginians by increasing awareness and accessibility of assistive technology. This is accomplished through a variety of activities, information and technical assistance provided on devices, services and funding resources.

The following services are provided: information and referral of devices; services and funding options; scheduled demonstration opportunities and activities specific to the region's needs; enhanced awareness of assistive technology issues and resources through presentations, training and participation in local events. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Individuals who want to sell, buy, loan, borrow or give away used assistive technology devices may post listings on the VATS computerized bulletin board by directly calling (804-662-9477-modem) or by contacting an information specialist toll free at 800-435-8490 (voice and text telephone).
