Come find out how your Assistive Technology Act Program in Georgia, Tools for Life, can help you help Georgians students with disabilities! Tools for Life (TFL) is funded by the Federal Tech Act which is legislation to promote direct AT services to individuals of all ages and disabilities in each state. Tools for Life increases independence for Georgians with disabilities by providing access to and acquisition of assistive technology devices and services.

Join us to learn how you and those you work with can benefit from these services!
