Introductory information urges determination of what assistive technology is needed and the gathering of all necessary information (such as primary and secondary disabilities, employment history, income and expenses, and health insurance) prior to contacting a funding source or preparing a justification statement. Sources of funding are listed by state within the following broad categories: state technology assistance projects, state protection and advocacy agencies, and other sources of information (brief descriptions of 17 print sources). Usually provided for each listing are: organization name, address, phone numbers (voice, TTY, and fax), email, and Web site. (Contains 17 references.) (DB)
