About this Toolkit

Purchasing assistive technologies

You have or an employee of your organization has (or acquires) a disability that prevents, or interferes with, access to the office or the use of mainstream office technology or services. What accommodations, technologies or services are available to help reduce or overcome the barriers raised by standard technologies?

This Toolkit will help you answer these questions.

Industry Canada maintains a listing of Canadian manufacturers and vendors of assistive technology: see "Canadian Company Capabilities" Assistive Devices Companies.

See the Accessible Procurement Toolkit when you are purchasing mainstream technologies, supplies or services for the general office environment.
