Demonstration Centers
The Texas Technology Access Program supports a statewide assistive technology demonstration network of centers to provide general assistive technology, computer access, and portable computer access demonstrations. Demonstrations are available to consumers and their family members, as well as advocates, employers, and educators.
Demonstrations include an explanation of the function of a device and instruction in its use. There are opportunities at each demonstration event for participants to use or try a number of devices so that each individual will be better able to determine the most appropriate device to meet his/her specific needs. Upon the completion of the demonstrations, participants are given information about further assessment if required, costs and funding, and possible assistive technology vendors, in order for the participant to make an informed decision regarding accessing or acquiring appropriate assistive technology devices.
