Are there any grants or scholarships available for students in need of expensive assistive technology?

There are a number of organizations that provide assistance to people with disabilities, including providing financial support. Below are three suggestions for organizations that help students obtain access to personal computers.

• The Jim Mullen Foundation and Computers for Schools provide low-cost computers for people who have a disability in the US and Canada.
• Disability Resources provides general information on funding assistive technology. In addition, the site lists contacts for every state’s Technology Assistance (TA) project.
• The Alliance for Technology Access (ATA) is the national network of community-based Resource Centers, Developers, Vendors, and Associates dedicated to providing information and support services to children and adults with disabilities.
