Project of The Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA). Operates the Technical Assistance Project under a new grant from the Rehabilitation Services Administration, U.S. Department of Education.

Increases access to assistive technology in North Dakota by engaging in activities that raise awareness, disseminate information, provide training and dssessments, work with policy makers, loan equipment for trial-use, and demonstrate assistive technology (AT) devices to individuals of all ages with disabilities and those experiencing the effects of aging throughout the state. IPAT increases AT acquisition by making available a used equipment bulletin board and an alternative financial loan program specific to the purchase of AT devices and services. Delivers servics to people with disabiilities can get the assistive technology they need for work, school and home.

has developed innovative technology enabling hands-free device control and communications in noisy environments. This patented technology uses an in-ear microphone that captures sounds that travel back into the ear canal. We then use proprietary speech algorithms, including a speech recognition engine, to process this signal and recognized commands are sent to the unmanned system. Along with hands-free, heads-up device control capabilities, TAM has also created acoustic echo cancellation, ambient noise reduction, and signal processing algorithms to enable its technology to be used in a communications headset. Think-A-Move has also performed pioneering research to be able to use tongue movement for device control
