[MDPOBC] FW: AT Reuse Program! free assistive technology and donations needed

[james.garret.mooney at gmail.com]

Hello, families and other federationists, 

 

Below is important information on how to receive free assistive technology. This is a great way to obtain expensive technology for free, and a great  way  for all of us to pay it forward and donate old technology.

Subject: AT Reuse Program!

 

Good Afternoon,

 

I’m with the Maryland Technology Assistance Program, under the Department of Disabilities. I’m pleased to say that our High-Tech Assistive Technology Reuse Center (MATR) is open by appointment! MATR takes donations of used high-tech assistive devices (anything from adapted keyboards and trackball mice to CCTVs and communication devices), sanitizes and refurbishes them and makes them available to people for free. We are the first state AT program with a high-tech reuse center, and are very excited to be able to increase peoples access to Assistive Technology in this way. Right now, we have over 80 items listed for  <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OIf93QbrU8te438kdcpM_E-a7HR5Z2QBP-fr6QbS_MhlJpQXGQhepzw1-B1aq6JyLlo1ZW6wlCRkv1Q_CdSgcNVsJlUhqVV3FGwPESznuJZLQmipPCHRgEzZsbKwTIl_UCV30ED7HPdJlldaH6JAzOJJUYf1rOCIAujekM2cirw2lLmPY6lAjA==&c=mK_pntZuSN64OHmyGIeSJq6aUf7OodUmr9F8599tFL91uV9LscbfgQ==&ch=nPc-_fZZxhuXVt-14LmwzliEBaQeWwRt3_RXUhZr2gjEZQSlYSynYw==> FREE on the MATR site, and we only hope to grow this number. I want to make your organization aware of this program so that you and your constituents can help by donating any old assistive devices you may have that are no longer in use and making them available to others. To donate, contact  <mailto:MDTAP.AT-Reuse at maryland.gov> MDTAP.AT-Reuse at maryland.gov, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

 

Thank you,
