🎉 Today is National Assistive Technology Awareness Day!

At LATAN, we’re celebrating the life-changing impact of assistive technology (AT) for individuals and families across Louisiana.

Assistive technology helps people live more independently, communicate more effectively, succeed in school and work, and stay connected to their communities. Today, we recognize the importance of access to these tools—and the difference they make every single day.

💙 Whether you’re already using AT or just beginning to explore your options, LATAN is here to support you.

Join us in celebrating, sharing, and spreading awareness about assistive technology!
