Demonstration Centers

Photo of a Project START staff member presenting a demoMDRS’s Project START coordinates and collaborates in providing awareness and access to assistive technology for all Mississippians by partnering with other organizations that serve individuals with disabilities. Our partnerships provide Demonstration Centers to educate individuals and their families or caregivers on assistive technology to aid in hearing, mobility, communication, vision and performing activities of daily living.

START Assistive Technology Demonstration Centers provide an environment to become educated and familiar with the latest assistive technology. Many of our Demonstration Centers serve a wide range of disabilities; others showcase devices for their field of expertise, such as communication or vision. Each Demonstration Center provides resources for funding, technical assistance, training, and trial use of the equipment.

We believe that in order for a person to make an informed decision about the type of assistive technology he or she may need, trial use and consumer support should be provided. Demonstration Center staff provides that support, along with the vendor, with the proper instruction on using the device to ensure the individual is comfortable and confident with the assistive technology.
