The Tech Mentor Program can help.
www.CTtechact.com/mentor
The Tech Mentor Program is a peer-to-peer program in which individuals with disabilities who use AT in their own lives can guide other individuals with disabilities who need assistive technology. A tech mentor is someone who has been through the process and knows where to find funding for AT, where to go for a hands-on demonstration of AT devices, and what agencies can help.
Tech mentors get training on assistive technology devices and how to be
an effective mentor.
