Living Life to the Fullest
Meet Assistive Technology Client, Shantel Martin
I was introduced to the Easterseals Iowa Assistive Technology Center by Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services. Access to the Lending Library has been a life changing experience for me. It has given me that self-sufficiency that I didn’t have, nor that I knew I was really lacking or needing. The devices that I was able to take home and use have changed my life for the better - I have more freedoms. I have more energy even because I’m not struggling to find a way to do things. The Assistive Technology Center and the devices are wonderful. I feel completely blessed to have this place. And I am grateful for the changes that assistive technology and the team here have had on my life.
