Thank you for your interest in an assistive technology (AT) evaluation from MonTECH.
While any Montanan, or Montana program or agency, can utilize our loan library or equipment demonstrations for free, evaluations are a paid service. Agencies may choose to request an evaluation because a formal, written report is required for access to or acquisition of AT devices or services.
If you are unsure whether you require an AT evaluation or a free demonstration, please reference the chart below.
If your organization would like to move forward with an AT Evaluation, please fill out the request form using the link below. If you have further questions, you can contact one of MonTECH’s Assistive Technology Professionals. They can talk you through the process.
Sincerely,
Michelle Allen, ATP
