- Community-Led Advisory Groups that shape our projects and priorities
- Cross-Identity Partnerships that address the full spectrum of human experience
- Practical Resource Sharing that strengthens grassroots initiatives
From offering our space to community groups to providing fiduciary support for emerging organizations, we believe in building collective power. Explore our collaborative approach →

Michigan Assistive Technology Program
The Michigan Assistive Technology Program likes to say "we're a program for people with disabilities, by people with disabilities." As most of our staff are people with disabilities who use assistive technology. We always like to keep at the center of our implementation the heart of the Assistive Technology Act.
MATP meets both the letter and the spirit of the Assistive Technology Act, the primary purpose of which is "to support State efforts to improve the provision of assistive technology to individuals with disabilities of all ages."
