History of the AT Project

The Idaho Assistive Technology Project is a federally funded grant project located at the Center on Disabilities and Human Development with the University of Idaho.  The Project was created in 1992 with funds provided by the adoption of the Technology – Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1988, also known as the “Tech Act.”  Our mission is “making technology the great equalizer.”
