The Iowa Program for Assistive Technology (IPAT) is Iowa's grant project under the Assistive Technology Act (ATA) of 1998. IPAT's goals are to promote and create systems change in the state with regards to assistive technology (AT) and it's use. IPAT works with consumers and family members, service providers, and state and local agencies/organizations to promote assistive technology through awareness, training, and policy work. IPAT accomplishes this through five specific goal areas:
- Education
- Employment
- Health
- Community Living and Recreation
- Telecommunication and Information Technology
IPAT operates an information and referral service on assistive technology called InfoTech to help callers find resources for new and used assistive technology and funding.
