MD TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (MD TAP)
"To build a better life, you need the right tools."
What is the Maryland Technology Assistance Program?
The Maryland Technology Assistance Program (MD TAP) provides tools to help Marylanders with disabilities and seniors enjoy the same rights and opportunities as other citizens. These tools are called "assistive technology" or "AT". Assistive Technology (AT) is any item needed to live, work or learn more independently.
MD TAP has a quarterly publication titled "Tapping Technology". Click here to visit the News & Features page of the website and view "Tapping Technology".
What are some examples of Assistive Technology (AT)?
AT ranges from simple, homemade fixes (such as tape on utensil handles to support better gripping), to complex, high-tech products (like computerized communication systems). AT includes low-tech aids for daily living, vehicles with wheelchair lifts, special keyboards and software to operate computers, blindness and low vision aids, assistive listening devices, adapted telephones, ramps and other home modifications, wheelchair and scooters, and many other products.
How does the program work?
The Maryland Technology Assistance Program provides a streamlined service of product information, consultation, and resource assistance in order to make assistive technology more available, affordable and usable for Marylanders with disabilities and seniors.
