Utah Center for Assistive Technology

The Utah Center for Assistive Technology's (UCAT) mission statement is:  "Helping people with disabilities identify and obtain assistive technology that will enhance the quality of their lives."

Check out the awesome work they've done, like creating a glove-like device to help a miner go back to work after an accident in which he lost nearly half his hand.  

UCAT also spends a lot of time helping make the lives of young people with disabilities more fun!  
Check out this "suck and blow train set" they created with help from a group of engineers in Logan, Utah at Autonomous Solutions.




Another UCAT staff member adapted a bike trailer using an old wheelchair so this young man could go on bike rides with his brother.
