This is amazing news!
If you've never been to the PACER Center, to visit the Simon PACER’s Simon Technology Center (STC). PUT IT ON YOUR LIST! The lending library is expansive from technology, to sensory tools to daily living aids. I learned about it from the Help Me Grow teachers and we use it to explore what my child responds too. We've used it since they were 3 years old and the staff is so helpful! Check out their drop in hours! Browse the catalog online!

STC provides critical access to assistive technology for individuals with disabilities, their families, and the professionals who work with them. The STC offers innovative, customized solutions to help people meet their education, employment, and daily living goals.
