30 Days, 30 AT Ways. Now, one place to learn more.

Throughout April, we shared how assistive technology (AT) helps people across Michigan live, learn, work, and participate more independently.

Are you interested in AT, but don’t know where to start?

Introducing the Michigan AT Help Hub: use it to find tools, resources, and support from organizations across the state.

Better tools, stronger credit, brighter possibilities.

Access the AT you need today while building a more secure financial tomorrow.

Our financial health is as real and critical as physical health, and people with disabilities, and those who support them, need to have opportunities to build their credit and work toward financial health.

As the only Community Development Financial Institution in Michigan that serves the disability community, older residents and caregivers exclusively, the Michigan Assistive Technology Loan Fund (MATLF) works to help you get the AT you need.

Did you know?

Some Michigan Medicaid waiver programs may cover assistive technology (AT), home modifications, and vehicle modifications that help people with disabilities live more independently in their communities.

These supports can help remove barriers at home and improve mobility and access to daily activities.

Meet Logan.

Logan has long found brushing teeth to be challenging due to multiple aspects of his disabilities. After doing research, the Michigan Assistive Technology Program (MATP) helped Logan pick a toothbrush with a variety of features that would help make the process more accessible for him. MATP demonstrated the Autobrush with a toothbrush head in a size that would work best for him.

Logan absolutely loved the Autobrush from the start! Not only does it decrease the fine motor and muscular demands of brushing teeth, but it’s been so effective at cleaning his mouth too. At his last appointment, Logan’s dentist told him that his oral hygiene looked significantly improved and asked him what he’d been doing! Logan has been showing his new toothbrush off to guests at his home and telling friends and family how much he loves it.
