Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology (FAAST Inc.)

Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology (FAAST Inc.) is a non-profit organization funded by the US Department of Education through the Assistive Technology Act of 2004, Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), private foundations and individuals. FAAST provides hands-on assistive technology demonstrations and trainings, financing for assistive technology purchases, assistive device lending programs, community outreach to rural and underserved groups, accessible and affordable housing, advocacy and education on consumer choice. FAAST has been instrumental in instituting policy changes through state government, such as the 2005 Legislative Session that requires the establishment of interagency agreements to ensure that assistive technology remains with a student as they progress through the education to work continuum. We strive to work with consumers, family members, caregivers, providers and agencies to ensure that individuals with disabilities continue to benefit from assistive technology as they move between home, school, work and the community.
