Announcing the MassMATCH List Serv 
 

Welcome to a new service of the Assistive Technology Act Project-the MassMATCH List Serv! As a member of this internet news service, you will be kept abreast of the latest in Assistive Technology (AT), upcoming AT events, and other activities of MassMATCH, Massachusetts's Assistive Technology Act Project.

MassMATCH stands for "Maximizing Assistive Technology in Consumer's Hands," and was established by the AT Act Advisory Council, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC). MRC has been designated the Assistive Technology lead state agency for the AT Act grant activities in Massachusetts. This year's AT Act grant activities include the launching of the List Serv as well as a MassMATCH Web site, which will be going live in the near future.

 

MassMATCH established this new List Serv to communicate with interested individuals, like you. Shortly, we will be asking others to join the List Serv through an outreach campaign. Participants of the List Serv will receive news and our MassMATCH newsletter, but may also send messages to the rest of the membership (once the moderator approves the appropriateness of the message). If for some reason you do not want to be a part of the List Serv, just send an email to massmatch@state.ma.us and ask to be removed from this information service.

 

MassMATCH is also participating in an Assistive Technology Exchange Program in the New England region.  The site, www.getatstuff.org, is an on-line listing of AT items for sale or for free in the New England region.

At this site you can shop for a needed device or post an item for sale that you no longer need. It's like an AT porch sale! So be sure to visit and register to enjoy all the benefits of the exchange program.

 

We hope you like these new services.  If you have any suggestions just drop us an email at massmatch@state.ma.us.
