Tools for Life, Georgia’s Assistive Technology Act Program, is dedicated to increasing access to and acquisition of assistive technology (AT) devices and services for Georgians of all ages and disabilities so they can live, learn, work and play independently and with greater freedom in communities of their choice.

Tools for Life and the TFL Network work collaboratively together to accomplish our mission through:

  • AT Demonstration
  • AT Evaluations and Assessments
  • AT Funding Options & Education
  • Access to the TFL AT Lending Libraries
  • AT & Durable Medical Equipment Reuse
  • AT Training (Individual)
  • AT Training (Groups)

Assistive Technology Funding

Locating funding often creates a barrier to acquiring needed assistive technology devices and services.

While Tools for Life does not directly fund the purchase of devices, it is a resource for individuals with disabilities and their family members, staff, service providers, counselors, employers, and others to:

  • obtain information about assistive technology in appropriate funding sources
  • borrow equipment on a trial basis
  • purchase selected equipment or software at discount prices
  • consult with specialists regarding accessibility issues
  • receive training
  • receive on-site support at home, in schools and on the job

The Tools for Life team also works closely with school personnel, family and related service providers and offers helpful information on related laws, policies, funding tips, and possible funding sources.
