Hey! That's Shannon, one of our awesome AT Consultants in our Fargo Demonstration Center.
Thanks for sharing our story!!

Today is Assistive Technology (AT) Awareness Day! Why is AT so important?
Many people with disabilities’ lives have been transformed by access to AT. AT programs across the US & territories help people of all ages and abilities test and get access to the tools they need to live, learn, work, and thrive.

On AT Awareness Day, join us in celebrating by reading stories from the field! One woman in North Dakota was starting to experience dementia when her daughter-in-law reached out to ND Assistive for support. An AT consultant there demonstrated a range of tools designed to help her with daily living.

One of our newest demonstration devices is the Hero Door Opener.

What we learned:
- Easy to install
- Less than $2000
- Works like a charm
- It could make a home, apartment, or workplace much more accessible!!

Devices like this are available through our Possibilities Grant for people who have no other means to acquire them. Your Giving Hearts Day donation goes directly to that grant.

Here's hoping you receive a smile and a wave on this fabulous February Monday.

We tend to like Mondays more than most people. It's because of what we do.

Editor's Note: Only one more Monday before Giving Hearts Day on Feb. 12.

This is a rocking t-knife. In the right hands, it helps someone prepare and eat meals on their own. Most of us take that for granted, but it's a big deal.
It runs about $25 and would be a cool thing to provide someone with your Giving Hearts Day donation. Every dollar this year goes directly to our Possibilities Grant fund.

We get so busy giving that sometimes we forget we need to do a little getting to keep up with that giving.

Every dollar raised this year goes to our Possibilities Grant. It helps people like Beckett here do some amazing things!

About ND Assistive

North Dakota Assistive (formerly IPAT) is a non-profit organization that strives to bring assistive technology devices and services into the lives of North Dakotans and Minnesotans of all ages who need it. Our goal is to help bridge the gap between ability and disability using assistive technology.

We are constantly following advances in the field of assistive technology so that we have the expertise to consistently provide comprehensive, quality services. The services that we provide can cover a broad range of needs. This includes assistance in the classroom, the community, and at work, as well as, technology to allow those experiencing the effects of aging to safely remain living in their own homes. Providing funding and distribution programs is another integral segment of our organization. We feel that all people should be given the opportunity to learn about, try, and afford assistive technology devices.

Our Background

North Dakota Assistive is a non-profit organization that was designated by the former Governor Ed Schafer as the implementing entity for the Statewide Assistive Technology Act Program in 1993. In addition, ND Assistive is the implementing agency for several other state and federal contracts as described on this site.
