MassMATCH News and Information!!!!

 Announcing the all new MassMATCH.org! 

MassMATCH-the Massachusetts initiative to Maximize Assistive Technology in Consumer's Hands-is pleased to announce the complete redesign of  www.massmatch.org.
 
Our re-vamped site includes the following NEW programs and features:
The AT School Swap. Designed to maximize school resources and get students the devices they need fast, the AT School Swap tracks the equipment inventory of participating schools and makes unused AT available for borrowing between schools and school districts. Educators: upload your school's AT inventory today!
The AT Services Directory. Find providers of AT services and training close to home. MassMATCH has partnered with the New England INDEX to create this AT-targeted search engine.
Enhanced Get Help features. In addition to improved Consumer Advocacy, Technical Assistance, and Transition Assistance resource pages, the Get Help menu now includes fully-operational Ask the Expert, AT Forum, and AT Product Review options.
For Educators, For Employers, For Providers home pages. MassMATCH.org now has portals to help educators, employers, and AT providers find what they need fast. 
Improved navigation and accessibility. We've made it easier to find MassMATCH programs and other online resources. "Roll over" the banner menu and quickly locate features and programs-it's available from any page on our site. The Event Calendar and Resources menu are now top-level. The Home page is available as one or two columns. Learn more at the Accessibility page.

Continued great features:

Fund Your AT is improved to help you navigate federal, state, and privately funded sources for AT.
Consumer Advocacy directs you to organizations and other resources that can answer questions and provide you with savvy assistance.
GetATStuff and other equipment exchange sites are available from the AT Swap & Shop page
