• Research, development, and commercialization of advanced technologies and assistive devices.
   
• Education Programs for professionals, students, and consumers.

CAT's multi-disciplinary Client Service Team provides assistive technology assessment and training services to people with disabilities in the eight counties of Western New York.

The opportunities for student training and clinical faculty involvement extend to community-based service providers, client employers, the NYS Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CBVI), the NYS Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID), and about fifty school districts within the region.
