Meet Angela Standridge, Director of the Texas Technology Access Program (TTAP) at the University of Texas. The program helps people with disabilities get access to assistive technology so they can live more independently.

What is Assistive Technology (AT)? is any device, equipment, software program, or product that helps a person with a disability improve or maintain their ability to function.

TTAP makes these tools easy to find and use. They not only have a library of available devices but also provide product demonstrations, 35-day loaner devices, recycled equipment, and information about national loan programs. Angela explains that the tool itself is not the full solution—the real solution is how the person uses it in their own environment to meet their specific needs.

Listen in and find out how this amazing program allows those of us with disabilities to live a more independent life.

After a massive stroke left her fighting to walk, talk, and think clearly, Judy Cage refused to accept the limits placed on her recovery. In this inspiring episode, she shares how determination, resilience, and a little “stubbornness” helped her defy the odds—returning to work, writing her book Super Survivor, and mentoring others along the way.
