Since 1989, Tech-Able has provided individuals with disabilities, their 
families and support professionals access to Assistive Technology devices 
through our Lending Library, Demonstrations, Training Classes and Information 
and Referral. Thousands of individuals have been helped to meet their 
personal, educational, recreational and vocational goals!

What is Assistive Technology?
Assistive Technology is technology used by individuals with disabilities in 
order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible.
