    Your Local Disability Rights Office

    Be aware that many states offer a Disability Rights agency which provide advocacy and legal services to people with disabilities, but did you also know that they offer help with adaptive equipment...?

    Here in NJ for example the Disability Rights New Jersey, has the Assistive Technology Advocacy Center (ATAC) which serves as New Jersey's federally funded assistive technology project through a sub-contract with New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Its purpose is to assist individuals in overcoming barriers in the system and making assistive technology more accessible to individuals with disabilities throughout the state.

    If you would like to find out what your state Disability Rights agency can do for you, just contact one of our information specialists.
