What is assistive technology anyway?! Assistive technology (AT) is any item, piece of equipment, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities and older adults. #ATAwarenessDay #assistivetechnology

CEREBRAL PALSY AWARENESS DAY 💚

For all the little and big fighters who were told they can't & won't...but who can & will 💚
