Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources (WATR)

Return to WIND | WATR Staff | Publications | AT Advisory Council

WATR is Wyoming's Assistive Technology Act program and a resource for all assistive technology (AT) needs in Wyoming. AT may be a device or solution that enhances an individual's ability to live, play, or work independently. AT can take the form of a device, tool, or adaptation that supports a person when participating in everyday activities and settings.

The Assistive Technology Act supports state efforts to improve the provision of assistive technology by providing states with financial assistance to implement State Level Activities and State Leadership Activities to meet the assistive technology needs of individuals with disabilities.

Wyoming Assistive Technology Awareness Month Proclamation Signing, Friday, May 23, 2025 at 1 p.m.

Governor Mark Gordon will sign a proclamation to commemorate Wyoming Assistive Technology Awareness Month at the Wyoming State Capitol, 200 W 24th St, Cheyenne, on Friday, May 23rd at 1 p.m.

Assistive technology, defined in the Assistive Technology Act, is any item, piece of equipment, or product system used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities and older adults. Assistive technology provides people with disabilities the option to access education and the workplace, live within their communities, and enjoy recreational activities.

We invite you to join the WATR team and members of the WATR Assistive Technology Advisory Council at the live signing in Cheyenne. If you plan to attend, please let us know by Wed. May 21st, so we can share details on how to meet up with our group before the event.
