Welcome to ATconnect!

ATconnect is a curated digital platform, developed by ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology and populated by contributions from the global assistive technology community. ATconnect was developed to connect people to high-quality tools and resources, and information about assistive technology programmes and organizations, unlocking knowledge sharing and collaboration across the community. Our mission is to empower assistive technology users, providers, policymakers, educators, researchers, and advocates worldwide through this central, accessible platform filled with tools and knowledge. Together, we foster collaboration, innovation, and inclusion, ensuring that everyone, everywhere, can access the assistive technology they need.

We invite you to share your own resources or programme information for inclusion, helping ATconnect to grow as a living, global source for all things related to assistive technology.
