VA Assistive Technology System (VATS)

The Virginia Assistive Technology System (VATS) is a statewide systems change project committed to improving the quality of life for all Virginians by increasing awareness and accessibility of assistive technology.

Guided by Virginia Council on Assistive Technology and through a variety of consumer driven activities and programs, information and technical assistance are provided on devices, services and funding resources.

In partnership with consumers, employers, educators, public and private agencies, VATS strives to bring about change in practice, policies, and laws to improve access to assistive technology.
