Project Description:

This project provided information on assistive technology to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families and collaborated with local organizations in offering low interest loans for individuals requiring assistive technology devices to improve their quality of life or to become gainfully employed. The mission of the GSAT Program is to enhance the independence, productivity and quality of life for all individuals with disabilities in Guam through the four required State Level Activities (state financing activities, device reutilization programs, device loan programs, and device demonstrations) and the four required State Leadership Activities (training and technical assistance, transition assistance to individuals with disabilities, public awareness, and coordination and collaboration) which result in increased access and utilization of AT devices and services.
