The non-profit Utah Assistive Technology Foundation (UATF) was organized in 1991.  The UATF is a 501(c)(3) Federal tax exempt private foundation incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah.

The mission of the UATF is to assist Utah citizens with disabilities by enhancing their independence, education, employment, and quality of life through the use of assistive technology. The UATF also helps individuals with disabilities to obtain the assistive technology devices and services they need to communicate, complete daily tasks, succeed in inclusive classrooms, work competitively, and participate in community activities.

The objectives of the UATF are to:

• Ensure that assistive technology devices and services are affordable and obtainable for children and adults with disabilities.
• Secure public and private donations to help individuals obtain assistive technology devices and services.  All donations are tax deductible.
• Develop and implement resource distribution criteria (loan requirements).
• Provide information to consumers, family members and providers regarding assistive technology needs and resources.

The Executive Director of the Utah Assistive Technology Foundation is Marilyn Hammond, Ph.D.
