ALLTech: Where Technology Is About People

ALLTech identifies technology solutions to the educational, daily living, communication, and workplace challenges experienced by people of all abilities and ages. Our unique and comprehensive array of services, trainings, and research is surpassed only by our passionate commitment to developing a knowledgeable citizenry, educated workforce, and improved quality of life. Through our work, we promote access and meaningful participation for ALL.

ALLTech has a number of existing and new initiatives. Our equipment demo and loaner program provides short term, no cost loans of assistive technology and augmentative communication products. Taking advantage of this program is helpful in supporting teams as they go through the AT consideration/decision-making process. In addition, it offers consumers continued access while their personal devices are being repaired or while waiting for funding.

Our new Accessible Instructional Materials (AIM) Technical Assistance project will support educators who don’t have the time or resources to provide student mandated access to print-based instructional materials. Such access is guaranteed in federal education statutes, such as IDEA and NCLB. ALLTech can support you with AIM and NIMAS in the following ways:

• Coordination of textbook acquisition from the State's NIMAC "authorized user"
• Acquisition and implementation of individual or institutional subscriptions to bookshare.org/rfb&d.org
• Coordinate District/student AIM-related materials and activities
• Coordinate paperwork (subscription forms)
• Organize individual student ID's
• Download digital books/burn audio CDs
• Distribute with copyright laws intact
• Provide professional development to staff regarding tools to access digital text
• Provide individual training/support to students who have print disabilities and use AIM

Please contact ALLTech for more information. We look forward to working with you!
