Welcome!

The Gentry Facility's Assistive Technology Department has provided Assistive Technology services to consumers throughout the state of Alabama for over 25 years and is one of the foremost organizations of its kind in the United States.

Our role includes (but is not limited to):

• Informing the populace of the availability and benefits of assistive devices
• Helping persons determine what assistive devices best suit their individual needs
• Training persons in the use of assistive devices
• Providing on-site technical support to enable consumers to remain continually productive
• Advocating for and supporting blind consumers in their vocational endeavors
