MONTANA ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM--EXCHANGE (MATP-E)

Welcome to the MONTANA ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM--EXCHANGE

The MATP-E program is to allow Montanans to post, sell and purchase from others gently used assistive technology and adaptive equipment to improve the independence of those living with disabilities. Simply put, this is the "craigslist" of all equipment specially designed to help people live full lives at home, work, and in the great outdoors.
