<DIV>The Kentucky Assistive Technology Loan Corporation (KATLC) offers low
interest loans for qualified applicants with disabilities who need assistive
technology. Working with its lending partner, Fifth Third Bank of
Kentucky, KATLC can provide loans for modified vehicles, hearing aids, adapted
computers, mobility devices, augmentative communication devices or any other
type of equipment or home modification that will improve the quality of life or
increase the independence of Kentuckians with disabilities. Established by
state statute in 1996, KATLC is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors,
four of whom must have disabilities, that reviews all applications. KATLC
made its first loan in the summer of 2000 and now has provided more than $4
million in loans to Kentuckians with disabilities to enable them to get the
assistive technology they need, making it one of the most active assistive
technology alternative financing programs in the nation. The Kentucky
Office of Vocational Rehabilitation currently provides the staff support to the
Board and KATLC.</DIV>
