The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration on Community Living (ACL) requires states that receive federal funding from the Assistive Technology (AT) Act to submit a State Plan for Assistive Technology every three years. The State Plan outlines goals for the state’s AT program and tracks progress towards these goals based on federal performance measures.

Wisconsin's AT Advisory Council has completed a draft of Wisconsin’s State Plan for AT 2018-2020. The Wisconsin AT Advisory Council welcomes your comments, suggestions, and feedback on the state plan. This plan aims to improve access to assistive technology devices and services for people of all ages in order to continue to live independently in the community with dignity and respect. Attached to this email and available at: https://atc.wisconsin.gov/atcfiles/p-02162_State_AT_Plan_18-20.pdf.

Public comments and feedback received on the State Plan for AT will be reviewed and  addressed in the plan as appropriate. The AT Advisory Council is committed to using the comments and feedback received on the plan in multiple ways—including implementation of the State Plan.

Please submit your responses via the feedback survey or in writing by Saturday, June 30, 2018 at 5 pm (CST). If you have any questions about the public comment process or need assistance completing this survey, please contact Mason Aumanstal at (608) 266-3118 or via email at MasonE.Aumanstal@dhs.wisconsin.gov.

The State Plan for AT Feedback Survey link will be active on the State Plan AT webpage (https://atc.wisconsin.gov/state-assistive-technology-plan.htm) the week of 6/4/2018.
