News from Mass. Rehab and this time it's good. GetAtStuff.org
is now up and running online. Great idea and I love the name.
"I am pleased to report that one of the MassMATCH AT Act
projects, the AT Exchange in New England, went live
yesterday. The Assistive Technology Exchange in New England
is a website and database that permits descriptive listings
of assistive technology items to be entered, edited, searched
and removed. The collaboration between the 6 New England
states made this project possible and very cost efficient.
The Assistive Technology Exchange in Massachusetts is
designed to facilitate simple, easy transactions between
Massachusetts residents who can benefit from assistive
technology devices and those who have assistive technology
devices that are no longer needed. It is not for vendors
or distributors to buy equipment, although vendor
participation through donations of equipment or posting
equipment for loans is welcomed.
To post and item or to look at items available go to
www.getATstuff.org <http://www.getatstuff.org/> .
You can also look at items available from the other
neighboring states. One item was posted on the
Massachusetts page yesterday.
Please take a look and pass on to others you feel will be
interested."
