AT Awareness Month

Initiative Description

May 2022 was Wyoming Assistive Technology Awareness Month, a formal proclamation signed by Wyoming's Governor Mark Gordon and was held virtually through the Google Meets platform. 45 attendees witnessed the virtual signing. This proclamation is a way to bring attention to the importance of assistive technology and how residents can access services through Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources (WATR). WATR did receive more information and assistance activity due to this proclamation. 

Lessons Learned/Replication

There were no written policies, practices, or procedures developed or implemented. However, attention was brought to the importance of assistive technology and access through Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources (WATR). In addition, the Wyoming AT Lemon Law, which is currently in development, will be brought to the attention of Wyoming legislators.
