Welcome to our NEW website!  Please visit us often as we are under daily construction  and working hard!  We appreciate your patience...

The Assistive Technology of Alaska (ATLA) connects Alaskans who have disabilities with the tools they need in order to learn, work, play, and participate in community life safely and independently.

ATLA offers training as well as no-cost equipment demonstrations and short term loans. We also provide funding, develop partnerships with state agencies and organizations, and publish resource materials and event calendars. An used equipment recycling program is also coordinated by ATLA. 

ATLA staff

ATLA staff does not advocate for or recommend specific devices or software programs.  They help consumers make “informed choices” by providing them with information about different technologies that meet their needs and skills, then giving them an opportunity to try out some of their choices in at their demonstration center.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about ATLA and some of the services and products we have to offer.  Proceeds from purchases made through ATLA go back into supporting Alaska's only comprehensive Assistive Technology Supplier and Service Provider in the State.  By using ATLA, you are supporting ATLA's goal of providing all Alaskans with the technology they need to achieve their educational, vocational, and independent living goals.

Funding

There are many different sources of funding that can be used to purchase or acquire assistive technology; however, it is not always easy to secure funding.  We hope this section provides you with a place to start your search. It may be easier for consumers to work with a care coordinator, case manager, counselor/rehabilitation specialist, etc. to assist in the search. They may be able to combine resources to help the purchase a device or piece of equipment. In many cases a consumer may be asked to contribute funds or in-kind services to assist with the purchase.  AT vendors and manufacturers are also a good resource for funding assistance.
