The Association of
Blind Citizens (ABC) has established the Assistive Technology Fund (ATF).
The ATF will provide funds to cover 50% of the retail price of adaptive devices
or software. The ABC Board of Directors believes that this program will allow
blind and visually impaired individuals access to technology products
that will have a significant impact on improving employment opportunities,
increasing the level of independence and enhancing their overall quality of
life.
The products covered by this program must retail for a minimum of $200 with a maximum retail price of $6,000. Applications will be reviewed by the Assistive Technology Committee and recommendations will be submitted for board approval. All applications must be submitted via e-mail. For full eligibility requirements and application, visit www.assocofblindcitizens.org.
