Easterseals Iowa Assistive Technology Program
-
The Assistive Technology Program supports Iowans in finding and using the assistive technology (AT) they need for their daily lives.

Assistive technology helps people with tasks that might be hard for them otherwise. AT may be any device or system that helps perform a task. These tasks may include learning, working, playing, and being part of community life.
-
We serve all ages in all areas of Iowa. This includes aging Iowans and those Iowans with disabilities and special needs. Any individual experiencing a need or their support team can reach out to us.

Living Life to the Fullest
Meet Assistive Technology Client, Shantel Martin
I was introduced to the Easterseals Iowa Assistive Technology Center by Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services. Access to the Lending Library has been a life changing experience for me. It has given me that self-sufficiency that I didn’t have, nor that I knew I was really lacking or needing. The devices that I was able to take home and use have changed my life for the better - I have more freedoms. I have more energy even because I’m not struggling to find a way to do things. The Assistive Technology Center and the devices are wonderful. I feel completely blessed to have this place. And I am grateful for the changes that assistive technology and the team here have had on my life.
