Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network (LATAN) is the federal Assistive Technology ACT program for Louisiana. Working throughout all of Louisiana, LATAN assists residents of all ages with
disabilities or functional limitations in gaining independence at home, at work, and at school through the use of assistive technology.
The AT Marketplace is a device reuse program for Assistive Technology (AT) users. The AT Marketplace online database allows users to browse our current inventory, and offers many gently used devices in all functional categories (i.e. mobility, vision, hearing, work/computer, etc.) available by open-ended loans free to consumers.
Clients also have the option of listing their AT for sale, or of donating assistive technology devices to LATAN to be posted on the AT Marketplace. AT Marketplace users also have the option of keeping the devices in their possession and listing them for free or for sale.
