“I rise in support of H.R. 4278, the Improving Access to Assistive Technology for Individuals with Disabilities Act of 2004, and thank the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon) for his work. The legislation before us today is key to helping thousands of individuals across the country gain access to assistive technology devises and services. The use of assistive technology can help a child attend school, an adult seek and maintain employment, and individuals of all ages with disabilities participate more fully in society. Every day, the lives of countless individuals with disabilities are made better through access to assistive technology. Assistive technology helps individuals meet the challenges they face every day, and through the use of assistive technology individuals with disabilities can overcome almost any obstacle they face. This reauthorization focuses on how we can enhance these services. However, this legislation by encouraging AT projects across the country to build on other success stories across we can help more people with disabilities to learn, work, and be active participants in their community.”
