The Washington Assistive Technology Act Program (WATAP)
WATAP is a consumer advocacy network that includes the University of Washington Center for Technology and Disability Studies, and the AT Resource Center at Easter Seal Society in Spokane (EATRC). WATAP also receives guidance from a Consumer Majority Advisory Board. WATAP is supported by a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) (grant #H224A020001), and Dr. Kurt Johnson is the principal investigator.
WATAP provides information and referral, consultation and training related to the selection of AT devices, services, and funding, legal advice and advocacy, policy development, legislative action, technical consultation and training, publications, and development and maintenance of online resources.
