Ershig Assistive Technology Resource Center (E-ATRC)
What is the Ershig Assistive Technology Resource Center (E-ATRC)
The Ershig Assistive Technology Resource Center (also known as E-ATRC) is housed in Miller Hall 001. It is a 'hands-on' lending library and demonstration center, located in Woodring College of Education (WCE) on the campus of Western Washington University. The E-ATRC houses hundreds of low to high tech support tools.
The purpose of the E-ATRC is to increase awareness and use of assistive technologies in order to improve participation in life and increase access to learning for a wide range of individuals with diverse needs.
Assistive Technologies (AT) have historically been considered for individuals with complex disabilities. However, affordable AT options are now available to help meet the diverse needs of a wide range of individuals in our society, not just those with significant disabilities.
