P&A for Assistive Technology (PAAT)

PAAT 2024- 2025 Priorities

Our PAAT program helps people understand their rights to use medical devices or technology that can aid them in managing their disability. Collectively this is called Assistive Technology (AT). We help people navigate legal issues such as insurance denials of coverage for AT or related services, access to medical care that requires use of AT, housing accommodations, workplace accommodations, and accommodations in school.

PAAT clients are people with disabilities receiving or interested in receiving or having difficulty obtaining assistive technology who reside in New York State.
