Assistive Technology

Tools to enhance everyday living
are within your grasp.

A cane, a hearing aid, a computer … Sometimes a simple piece of technology can make all the difference in accessibility to everyday things. For some, walking through the front door, talking on the phone or changing a television channel can be very challenging.

Technology can help. CLASS staff members work with disabled individuals and their families to find the right technology to make living in the physical world more manageable: to communicate effectively, live more independently and pursue their goals more completely.

At CLASS in Lawrence we have an Assistive Technology Demonstration Center where you can try the equipment to see if it is right for you or your loved one – so you can try it before you buy it.

We also offer a variety of services and one-on-one consultation. We're happy to prepare a quote for you based on your needs.

CLASS has a regional contract with the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, through the local Vocational Rehabilitation offices, to provide Adaptive Assistance services to the North Shore and Northeastern area of the state. See the MassMATCH AT Program at www.massmatch.org for information about assistive technology programs in Massachusetts.
