The CATP staff provides many services across Colorado with an emphasis on the underrepresented, minorities, seniors and those living in rural areas of the state. With our staff's different areas of expertise we are able to offer specific services in each of these areas to decrease barriers and increase access to assistive technology for all Coloradans. Private consultations are also available on an individual basis. In all areas of Colorado we find underrepresented populations. We work with these individuals to identify their specific needs and provide services within their culture to furnish the assistance they require.
Information is provided in their language of choice.
Senior Services Seniors represent a large part of the Colorado population and are all potential users of assistive technology. We collaborate with many of the senior agencies in providing information about the devices and services available to them, how to obtain them, and how to pay for them. We also participate in various activities and forums directed specifically to the senior population. We work with local agencies and organizations to provide the same type of presentations and consultations as provided in the metropolitan areas, and Regional open houses are scheduled around the state to give consumers, families and professionals the opportunity to see what is on the market and to ask questions from our knowledgeable staff. Quarterly visits are scheduled in each of the five areas of the state to provide regular contact with individuals living in these communities.
