Sussex ATRC Settles Into New Home

As many individuals in Sussex County know, the county's Assistive Technology Resource Center (ATRC) has been in the process of relocating for the past several months. In the beginning of August, the Sussex ATRC finally settled into its new home at the Cheer Community Center in Georgetown.

As in New Castle and Kent Counties, the Sussex ATRC is barrier-free, open to the public, and contains examples of all types of AT. Dan Fendler, the Assistive Technology Specialist; Sandy Walls, the site's administrative support person; and Sonja Rathel, the DATI project coordinator are available to assist visitors Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Services offered at the site include personal equipment demonstrations and assistance in helping to identify technology options for a given need. Most of the equipment at the site is available for a two-week loan period, enabling users to "try before they buy." Drop-in visitors are always welcome, but to ensure personalized attention to your needs, it is recommended that you call in advance to make an appointment. There is no charge for the services offered by DATI’s ATRCs.
