Assistive Technology

The Assistive Technology Center provides individualized training in basic computer use and in the use of adaptive technology.  The Center was established in 1997 and is located on the main floor of the library. It is open for those patrons with disabilities and their advocates.

If you are interested in knowing more, call or e-mail us to schedule an appointment.  During your first appointment, needs will be discussed and goals selected.  Your goal may be as simple as learning how to use e-mail or you may need to spend time exploring different software options.  Appointments are generally once a week for an hour.  If possible, you may be able to schedule a standing appointment.  Training and support are provided by the ATC Instructor.

If you would like to schedule an appointment, call locally, 776-4741 ext 202, 1-800-432-2796 ext 202 or email Wandean Rivers at  wandean@manhattan.lib.ks.us.  Demonstrations of some of the software available in the ATC can also be scheduled.

There have been many success stories over the years.  Elementary students to seniors have utilized the ATC.  Maybe now is the time to add your own success story using assistive technology?
