Developmental Disability Services

Assistive Technology Services can work with staff or clients at your facility or at our office.  We can integrate all of our Assistive Technology into a training for your staff or to work with your participants. We currently provide services for Montgomery County. We have also provided services for Darke County.

As your staff continues to need Continuing Education Units or Growth Hours we can come to you and train one-on-one or do training for large groups. CEU's/Growth Hours can be designed for whatever your staff needs from basic computer skills to higher tech training to include: nonverbal, adaptive computer equipment, specific learning software, a wide array of programs for individuals with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder.

We can build computer labs for your staff and participants using our low-cost refurbished computers or by tailoring it to your specific needs and price range. Each of the computers can be loaded with learning software or we can provide computers and software from our Assistive Technology Lending Library for you to borrow.

Call 937-461-3305 for additional information.
