Check out this heartfelt testimonial from one of the individuals we’ve had the privilege to support. 💙 Hearing how assistive technology and services make a difference in the lives of West Virginians is why we do what we do every day. We are so grateful they shared their experience with us!

"I want to thank the West Virginia Assistive Technology System Center for Excellence in Disabilities for the very generous donation of the Magic Mobility Extreme X8 wheelchair. It has given me freedom to travel off hard-packed surfaces. I can't wait to go berry picking this summer. It has been a pleasure working with the (WVATS) program. The people were prompt in communication and delivery. They were also very kind and courteous. Once again, thank you very much.- John"
