Do you work with older adults who could benefit from assistive technology (AT) to live, learn, work, and thrive?

The AT3 Center, powered by ATAP-Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs, is bringing organizations together to expand access to life-changing AT for aging adults. The 2026 cohort is ideal for Area Agencies on Aging, senior centers, state units on aging, Assistive Technology Act Programs, and other organizations serving older adults across states and territories.

Struggling with the winter blues? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is depression triggered by seasonal changes, usually starting in the fall and lasting through winter, draining your energy and affecting your mood, especially during the holidays.

To help, Assistive Technology Support Specialist Justin Fuller-Green has put together a SAD Emergency Toolkit! This kit includes light therapy lamps to imitate sunlight, weighted blankets for comfort, stress-relief activities like coloring books and fidgets, mood-tracking apps, fitness motivators, and sleep aids. The goal is to create a supportive, accessible space that makes it easier to cope with winter’s unique challenges.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities! According to the United Nations, there are 1.3 billion people with disabilities around the world. That comes out to 16% of the world population.

This year, the UN's theme for International Day of Persons with Disabilities is "Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress." At Tools for Life, we support inclusion with the support of assistive technology solutions so everyone can live, learn, work, and play independently in the communities of their choice!
