BATON ROUGE, LA, USA, September 26, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network (LATAN) lending library of tools, devices, and assistive technology services for persons with physical or neurological impairments, is expanding in a small way.

The latest addition to the device demonstration is the Toothbrush Pillow, a small countertop HSA & FSA medical device that balances a toothbrush in the horizontal position with bristles up to aid and assist physically or neurologically impaired individuals in applying toothpaste. Like all the numerous devices and services available from Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network, the Toothbrush Pillow can be tried by the user before committing to its use.

Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network’s mission is to help people of all ages with functional limitations or disabilities to gain greater independence at work, at home, or at school.

LATAN envisions a future in Louisiana in which individuals who use AT can achieve greater independence, are more satisfied with their lives, and have greater access to their communities. LATAN strives to bring that vision to fruition each day through its AT services and community outreach.

Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network now has the Toothbrush Pillow thru the AT Demonstrations programs. This opportunity is for a person to interact with an AT device, learn about the different features and compare with other similar devices. An AT Device Demo allows a person to make an informed decision about whether the device is the right one.

According to CDC.gov 4 percent of Louisiana adults have a self-care disability, 15 percent with mobility disability, and 9 percent have an independent living disability. Independent living is described as serious difficulty doing errands alone, such as visiting a doctor's office and self-care is difficulty dressing or bathing.

Funding for LATAN is available through a government-sponsored program called Assistive Technology Act Programs (ATAP), administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HHS works through various state agencies that work closely with individual users impacted by disabling conditions.

The Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATiA) defines Assistive technology (AT) is any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities.

The small Toothbrush Pillow, like thousands of other devices designed to assist disabled and elderly, is available at 40 out of 56 assistive technology locations throughout all 50 states, four US territories, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
