Utah State University-Uintah Basin and the Utah Assistive
Technology Program celebrate their new AT Lab with an open house on September 7.
The event takes place from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Multipurpose
room of the Roosevelt Campus, 987 E. Lagoon St., and it will feature
information from many different service providers for people with disabilities.
The Assistive Technology Labs in Roosevelt and Logan help
find customized solutions—both high- and low-tech—for people with disabilities
to meet their goals in employment, education and living independently. They
work in partnership with Options for Independence in Logan and Active Re-Entry
Independent Living Center in Eastern Utah.
Many different service providers for people with
disabilities will participate in the open house. Look for representatives
working in early intervention; assistive technology; Agrability (assistive
technology for people in agriculture); educators; independent living; alternative
communication; services for children with special health care needs (including
autism); a low interest loan and small grant program; and CReATE (which
provides affordable, refurbished mobility devices to Utahns who need them).
A number of vendors specializing in products and services
for people with disabilities will also attend.
