Highly skilled staff is available to
provide specialized evaluation for assistive technology and ergonomics.
Typically, these services are funded by the California Department of
Rehabilitation, Regional Center, commercial or private insurance, special grant
awards, employers, or Special Access grant funds for qualified applicants when
all other funding sources have been exhausted.

Community Outreach:
Presentations, education and seminars to
introduce the community to the marvels of assistive technology and ergonomic
safety.
The CCATC evaluates, trains and
follows-up a wide range of individuals (all ages, all disabilities) with
assistive technology needs. Examples are:
Computer Access - individuals who
need better access to their computer because their current method is slowed by
disability or injury. Included in computer access is ergonomic design and how
the individual’s physical disability, illness or injury requires an alternative
work station.
Augmentative Communication -
Individuals who have limited or no speech (as a result of a chronic disability
i.e., cerebral palsy tramatic brain injury, stroke, ALS, MS, etc.) and need the
ability to communicate basic needs.
Home/School/Worksite Access - Any
individual who has a physical disability, illness or injury often times needs
their environment modified to accommodate their reduced mobility.
