Wyoming Technology Access Program

What is WYTAP?

Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources
(WATR) and Wyoming Independent Living (WIL),
in partnership with StagePoint Federal Credit
Union of Laramie, are proud to offer a program
designed to help individuals with disabilities
access financing for assistive technology devices
and services. This collaborative initiative provides
an affordable and supportive pathway for people
with disabilities to obtain the tools they need to
enhance independence, mobility, and daily living.

Loan funds must be used to purchase assistive technology devices. AT devices are defined as anything that will improve mobility, accessibility, or quality of life. AT devices may also be used to enhance recreational activities such as skiing or hunting.

The WyTAP loan has a competitive interest rate of The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one percent (WSJ Prime + 1%) at the time of an approved application. This structure offers transparency and reflects prevailing market conditions while providing affordable financing for borrowers.
