Assistive Technologies

Do you need assistance in making daily tasks manageable?

ILC MAY BE ABLE TO HELP!

ILC can provide assistive technology and adaptive equipment to individuals with disabilities to increase their safety and independence in their homes and the community.

  • Can’t hold that silverware steady? There’s a gadget to help that.
  • Can’t hear the TV or radio? Test out a “Pocket Talker.”

ILC’s Advocates will demonstrate tools that can make challenging daily tasks simpler.

Contact your local ILC Office to make an appointment.
