The Kentucky Assistive Technology Services Network, within
the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet, will now loan smart-home
technology to help individuals with paralysis become more independent.
The My New Kentucky Smart Home program will loan smart-home
technology starter kits for three months to Kentuckians with paralysis to allow
them to begin automating various functions within the home. The KATS Network
will provide assistance to help borrowers locate funding sources to purchase
their own equipment at the conclusion of the loan.
People interested in applying for the program should contact
James Brown at 1-800-327-5287 or email [email protected]. Applications are
also available online at www.katsnet.org/rampup.
