Easter Seals Crossroads operates the INDiana Assistive Technology Act Project, otherwise known as the INDATA Project. The purpose of the INDATA project is two-fold. The first is to get assistive technology into the hands of Hoosiers with disabilities through device demonstrations, device loans, computer recycling and alternative financing. The second goal is to provide statewide outreach educational opportunities regarding assistive technology capabilities, options and resources. We accomplish these efforts through quarterly trainings offered statewide through telerehab, an annual assistive technology conference and small group presentations.” For more information call 1-888-466-1314 or visit www.eastersealstech.com.
