Information and Assistance

One of the core activities of ATRC is Information and Assistance. But what does that mean?


The world of assistive technology is dynamic and varied, and the staff at ATRC is well versed in AT for many needs and tasks. When you contact ATRC, either with an email or phone call, we will set up a time to meet by phone, video call, or in person to discuss your needs and interests. Using our knowledge of AT devices available, from low to medium to high tech, we will problem solve with you to determine the best AT to try for your particular needs.


If we do not have the resources that you need for your situation, we will refer you to another agency or company that may be able to help.


Please call or email us to start the process!

Upper Body Motor Impairment Survey

Mililani Rosare is a graduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the Human-Computer Interaction Program. She is conducting a study to learn about individuals with upper-body motor impairments and how they use assistive technology devices when using a computer and/or laptop. She shared:


"the research is to learn more about the issues in various assistive technology devices, current challenges, and potential recommendations for improvements when using a laptop and/or desktop during website navigation. Some of the questions that are in the survey ask about what type of upper-body motor impairment they have, what assistive technology devices they use (ex: mouse, special keyboard, voice over, etc.), suggestions for current or new assistive technology devices, typical websites they access, and more."


If you have an upper body motor impairment, please consider taking the time to answer her questions!
