Description

We examined the 56 state and territory assistive technology (AT) program websites for the availability of Spanish-language content. Only Puerto Rico and nine state program websites provided information in Spanish. Population demographics (using American Community Survey data) did not predict the availability of Spanish-language access. Findings illustrate the need for increased AT outreach among Spanish-speaking populations and highlight opportunities for new partnerships to generate AT materials in Spanish.
