Technical Assistance (TA)

MassMATCH TA Services

Technical Assistance (TA) is available from MassMATCH! State or local agencies and other public or private organizations who need TA for assistive technology may contact MassMATCH for contracted services.

Examples of assistance we have provided include help providing reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities in their places of employment, training on ergonomic computer workstation accessibility, and coordination and planning for videophone installation at MRC offices to ensure direct communication access for people who are deaf and their counselors. Our TA staff can work with your organization or agency to evaluate equipment needs and train staff to make AT work for your unique situation.
