ATRC - Assistive Technology Resource Center
As an ATRC, URS can assist any resident of Pennsylvania who is interested in borrowing from an inventory of more than 1,000 assistive technology devices from Pennsylvania’s Initiative on Assistive Technology’s Lending Library (PIAT).
The inventory includes devices for play, work, learning, and living for people
of all ages. This is a free program that is designed to give the person with
a disability a chance to use a device for a few weeks to see if it is helpful,
before considering a purchase.
An assistive technology device is any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially or custom made, that is used to enable individuals with disabilities to communicate, learn, play, achieve, work and be independent.
URS can also help with loan information through the PATF Loan Program.
What does an ATRC provide?
Advocacy to help identify and pursue funding sources for assistive technology.
Training and demonstrations of assistive devices and access to Pennsylvania’s
Assistive Technology Lending Library.
Referral and information about Assistive Technology.
Community awareness for people with disabilities, providers, and the
general public.
