Assistive Technology of Alaska (ATLA) connects Alaskans who have disabilities with the tools they need to learn, work, play, and participate in community life safely and independently.

ATLA offers statewide no-cost equipment demonstrations, information and assistance, short term loans (as items are available) and awareness activities. Staff help search for funding options, develop partnerships with state agencies and organizations, and publish resource materials. ATLA coordinates the statewide Alaska Trading Post, an on-line searchable database of used equipment and AT devices as part of the state's re-utilization program. ATLA offers fee-for-service assessments, trainings and technical assistance in addition to re-selling assistive technology.

ATLA staff does not advocate for or recommend specific devices or software programs. They provide consumers with enough knowledge to make “informed choices” about different technologies that meet their needs and skills. Consumers are encouraged to tryout their selections at their local demonstration center.
