Enabletech is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to using technology to improve the independence of people with disabilities. Our volunteers are engineers, fabricators, and medical and business professionals who donate their time and expertise. Our services are provided at no cost to our clients.
Our process is to:
- Review the client’s capabilities and needs
- Compare the needs to available technologies
- Design and create adaptations as needed
- Build and test the device
- Ensure that the device meets the individual’s needs
No members, directors or officers of Enabletech receive a salary or benefit materially in any way from our work. Our reward is the satisfaction of seeing our efforts make a positive difference in the lives of our clients. We are supported by public and private donations and grants and in-kind materials from our partners and volunteers.
