Device Demonstrations

 

WATR offers free assistive technology device demonstrations, designed to meet the specific needs of an individual. These demonstrations can be held virtually via Zoom or in-person in the Laramie lab. We can assist people with disabilities and their families, school districts, health-related service professionals, as well as any Wyoming resident who might be interested in learning about assistive technology.

Device demonstrations will help:

  • Increase understanding of the types of devices that can help with specific needs, such as speech communication or reading mail.
  • Improve knowledge of a device's features, and how those features differ from other devices that perform similar functions.
  • Increase understanding of how device(s) can help at work, in school, at home, and in your community.

Schedule an appointment with WATR to test devices. WATR staff are available both in-person as well as through Zoom videoconferencing technology.

You can request a device demonstration by using our online request form or contact WATR by calling (307) 766-2051 or emailing watr@uwyo.edu.
