Tobin Foundation Partners with DATI
The Tobin Foundation for the Visually Impaired, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Wilmington, has made a donation of $10,000 to the Delaware Assistive Technology Initiative (DATI) to be used to assist Delawareans with visual impairments.
This grant will help the Tobin Foundation to broaden their reach, and will help the DATI to continue to offer the most up-to-date assistive technology options to those with visual impairments throughout the state of Delaware.
With the Tobin Foundation grant, the DATI plans to add to its inventory of aids for those with visual impairments in each of its three ATRCs. The inventory items will be available for demonstration and loan. AT Specialists at each ATRC will also be available to discuss the new AT and to help identify low vision aid options based on an individual’s personal needs.
With this grant money the DATI will also be able to provide Delawareans with visual disabilities with low-cost AT devices that may assist them. Details of this new program will appear in the Spring issue of The AT Messenger.
