Vermont Assistive Technology Program | Burlington Tryout Center

The Vermont Assistive Technology Program (VATP) is a federal AT Act Program operating under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Administration for Community Living. As a state-run program, VATP helps individuals of all ages find accessible solutions to overcome barriers at home, work, and in the community as related to disability and aging related needs. Managed by the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living, VATP partners with the Center on Disability and Community Inclusion (CDCI) at the University of Vermont. CDCI operates three regional AT Tryout Centers and provides AT Services to Vermonters across the state. The VATP’s mission is to support full access and integration for Vermonters with disabilities and aging related needs, in education, work and their communities. Our vision is that everyone’s potential will be supported holistically and that each Vermonter will be provided with opportunities for independence and self-determination through the incorporation of assistive technology across all systems and environments in our state.
