WATR Projects

Our projects connect Wyoming communities with tools, resources, and expertise that improve access, independence, and quality of life for older adults and individuals with disabilities. From Tech2Connect, which helps combat social isolation and link people to essential remote services, to LEARN, a partnership expanding access to assistive technology through libraries statewide, and AgrAbility, which supports agricultural workers with disabilities, these initiatives aim to bridge gaps in technology, education, and support. Explore the guides, resources, and partnerships that make a difference for Wyoming residents every day.

Tech2Connect Decision Guide

Tech2Connect provides resources connecting older adults and adults with disabilities in Wyoming with remote social services, healthcare, and to combat social isolation.

 

The Tech2Connect Decision Guide will ask questions about technology wants and needs then generate an outcome report with suggestions for devices or training videos based on your responses. If you have complex needs for technology training or assistive technology, please contact Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources (WATR) for further evaluation, device suggestions, loans, and assistance.
