AT Databases

  • ABLEDATA - The ABLEDATA database contains information on more than 22,000 currently available low-tech to high-tech devices, and includes manufacturer contacts and prices. It is funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) of the federal Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS).
  • AblePlay - Search the AblePlay database for toys for children with special needs. Search by disability category, specific disability, product category, age range, brand, or product name. AblePlay independently rates and reviews toys. The site was developed by the National Lekotek Center, a nonprofit authority on play for children with disabilities.
  • Adapted Solutions: Products and Ideas for People with Mental Retardation - Adapted Solutions is run by occupational therapists working for the Massachusetts Department of Mental Retardation - at The Fernald Center and in the Metro Region. Use this website to browse the catalog of products tested by the Department, to see if a product is available from the Adaptive Activities Library, to learn how to "match people to products" or "make things more usable." You can also "ask an OT," and find vendors of products you are interested in.
  • Assistivetech - Assistivetech's database helps identify appropriate products, find vendors, and determine costs. The site is operated by the Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
  • Techmatrix - The TechMatrix is an online tool for finding assistive and learning technology products for students with special needs. It was created by the National Center for Technology Innovation (NCTI) and the Center for Implementing Technology in Education (CITEd).
