The Assistive Technology Center
Helping people achieve better living

Easter Seals Crossroads - Indianapolis, IN

The Assistive Technology Center at Easter Seals Crossroads provides assistive technology, equipment and services to individuals with disabilities.  While many of the solutions we implement are high-tech in nature, there are also a great many low-tech or no-tech solutions that greatly increase the employment opportunities of individuals with disabilities.  Since our inception in 1979, we have helped thousands of individuals successfully utilize assistive or adaptive technology to become more independent on the job, in the home or at school.

Services Available

Our qualified staff provide evaluation, training and technical support.
Evaluation - We meet with you to help determine what type of adaptive technology will help you reach your goals, which might include computer access, job accommodation, home office or school use. We can then direct you to sources for that adaptive equipment.
Training - We make certain that you know how to use your adaptive equipment.  Our staff will provide training on our equipment or yours, at one of our locations or at your location.  We offer small group and one-on-one sessions in short, manageable time frames to ensure that you learn just what you need to know at your own pace.
Technical Support - We offer a 24-hour technical support telephone line where we answer technical questions free of charge.  Any assistive technology user can call 317.466.2013 or 888.466.1314 and ask for the 24-hour help line. 
Microsoft Accessibility Resource Center - Because we were selected by Microsoft to be Indiana’s first MARC Center, we offer quarterly educational opportunities to the community regarding assistive technology.  Specifically, we educate on the features built into Microsoft products to increase accessibility.
Custom Solution Development - For individuals with various disabilities returning to work, often there is a need for custom software development and associated training.  Our technologists are capable of providing screen-reader scripting and other custom software development and training statewide.
Assistive Technology Loan Program - When our staff members make recommendations for assistive technology, we can often loan selective technology devices for up to three months.  By allowing individuals to try equipment prior to purchase, we are confident that the adaptive technology suits a person’s specific needs.
