Assistive Technology

At Wendell Foster, we believe everyone should have access to the tools that make life easier and more independent.

Our Assistive Technology & Resource Center helps people discover and access technology that supports daily living, communication, mobility, and more.

We’re proud to be part of the Kentucky Assistive Technology Services (KATS) Network. The KATS Network’s mission is to make assistive technology (AT) information, devices, and services accessible to Kentuckians with disabilities.

What is Assistive Technology?

Assistive Technology includes any tool, device, or system—big or small—that helps people with disabilities gain independence and participate fully in everyday life. This can include communication devices, adapted computer equipment, switches, environmental controls, mobility aids, and much more.
