The Assisted Technology Group assists organizations and communities in developing and implementing technology that enables and empowers people with disabilities. The group will also be meeting occasionally with the Technology Assistance to Non-Profits Group, as the potential for useful cross-pollination seemed apparent to all.

The first meeting of the group was held in person in Lowell, Massachusetts, on 22 June 2007. The initial members of the group included Anita Lie and Ross Musselman. We began by recognizing the groups strengths and resources, as well as establishing the challenges that each of us face in our VISTA positions.

We are anticipating the participation of Ryna Ramirez at our next meeting, where we hope to map out an agenda for the year's work. We have already identified an important area of cooperation with the Technology Assistance Group, where implementation of various technologies can be developed and explained.
